Recalls: Honda DC5 Integra
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Honda DC5 Integra
- In June 2006, a recall was issued for 2002 Honda DC5 Integra models due to a potential contamination of the ignition switch interlock with foreign matter. This could enable the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the selector was not in the ‘Park’ position and therefore potentially move without warning if the handbrake were not applied (PRA 2006/8542, PRA 2006/8727).
- In June 2013, a recall was issued for 2006 model year Honda DC5 Integra vehicles. In these vehicles, the master power booster body could be displaced and the seal-ability of the diaphragm reduced when the brake pedal was pressed. If this occurred, brake power would be reduced and stopping distances would be longer than expected, posing a potential hazard to the driver and other road users (PRA 2013/13641). The recalled vehicles had VINs in the following ranges –
- JHM DC5 4306S 200658 to JHM DC5 4306S 201269;
- JHM DC5 3906S 200663 to JHM DC5 3906S 201290; and,
- JHM DC5 3306S 200703 to JHM DC5 3306S 201242.
