Default Civic Recall Notice

I just recieved a recall notice for my 1998-2000 Civic because of the ignition Switch. It states:

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has determined that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in the ignition switch on certain 1998-00 Civics.

Electrical contacts in the ignition switch can wear prematurely due to high electrical currrent passing through the switch. Worn out ignition contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning. Although the engine will restart in most cases, if your engine stalls while driving in traffic or at highway speeds, you're at risk of being involved in a crash. Difficulties starting the engine (for example, hard-to-start, stalls immediately after starting, etc.) may indicate the the ignition switch is failing.

Call an authorized Honda Automobile dealer and make an appointment to have your car repaired.



Just thought you guys should know
