Honda recalls 17,000 Civic.

Maybe it's not a critical issue... any thoughts?

honda has now notified dealers of the recall, but no no details of what the recall involves.

Please be advised that Honda Australia has advised DOTARS (Department of Transport &Regional Services) of our intention to implement a Product Safety Recall for the following models:
Product Recall 5EY 2006YM-2007YM Civic 4D stop lamp switch and other components.

so by that i would sugget it involves inspection of the stop lamp switch and related components for possible replacement.

when querying dealers about it refer it it as the 5EY campaign and they should hopefully know what you are talking about

failure of the brake switch besides not illuminating the brake lights (potential for someone to run up your bum) may cause the lock out solenoid in your auto gearbox to malfunction. Reckon there were several gripes on this auto lockout problem reported by some users previously

Just thought I'd bump this and say I still haven't heard anything from Honda.

Same here mate!

Same on this front, haven't heard anything from either Honda dealer (the one where I bought it, and the one where I service it). My civic is in the range to be recalled - guess I'll just have to jog their memory when I take it in for the 30k service next week..
