Wheels could fall off on 182,000 recalled Honda Civics
Filed under: Recalls/TSBs, Safety, Honda
Honda Civics are generally respected as reliable transportation, and aren’t supposed to be prone to things like, say, wheels falling off. But that’s the reason Honda is recalling more than 182,000 of them made in 2006-2007.
Honda says the trouble comes from a leaky O-ring in the wheel speed sensor. Water could damage the wheel bearing, which could result in one of the four wheels falling off, “possibly resulting in a crash.” Ya think?
Owners of the affected Civics can expect a note in the mail from Honda, offering to fix the problem and replace any damaged parts.
You can read the full recall notice from NHTSA.gov after the jump.
Thanks for the tip, Herb!
