| PE03013 | HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) | 04/15/2003 | 09/09/2003 | IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK SYSTEM | ||
| All odi complaints and crashes are duplicative of honda complaints.the warranty claim count shown for other represents incidents where honda's analysis of claim detail indicates the interlock system malfunctioned.the cr-v interlock system utilizes an ecu to control a solenoid driven blocking device that prevents key removal when the shifter is not in park.honda documents identified a condition where metallic debris interferes with the operation of the blocking solenoid and causes the interlock system to malfunction.honda determined that a manufacturing process was the source of the debris and implemented a countermeasure in march 2002.approximately 62,000 vehicles were produced prior to this date.odi recognizes 63 incidents of interlock failure, which include 7 rollaway crashes, two of which resulted in three injuries and a multi vehicle accident.all 63 failures occurred on vehicles produced prior to the march countermeasure.noting the population of potentially affected vehicles, both the failure and crash rates are of significant concern to odi. | ||||||

| All but one odi complaint and all odi crashes are duplicative of honda reports.all 7 crashes were roll-away crashes that occurred when the interlock system malfunctioned and the vehicles were parked unsecured (not in park, brake not engaged).the 3 noted injuries were relatively minor.the warranty claims shown under other were confirmed by honda as interlock system failures.in the subject vehicle ignition-park interlock system, an electrically driven solenoid operates a blocking lever to prevent ignition key removal when the shift lever is not in the park position.according to honda, an ignition switch manufacturing operation could occasionally produce metal debris.in some cases the debris could fall into the area between the interlock lever and the body of the ignition switch where relative movement occurs.debris trapped in this area can increase friction between the lever and the switch body.if the debris is of sufficient size, it may slow the response of the level when the solenoid is energized.in this situation, if the transmission is not in park and the ignition key is rotated in a certain manner the interlock system may fail to prevent key removal, as required under fmvss 114.honda implemented manufacturing changes in march 2002 to prevent debris from entering the ignition switch assembly.honda also changed end-of-line inspection procedures to improve detection of debris.the presence of debris in the ignition switch is otherwise unapparent to the operator of the vehicle.under safety recall 03v-422, honda will recall vehicles manufactured prior to march 2002 to test the interlock system for the presence of debris.vehicles that fail the test will receive new ignition switch assemblies. | ||||||

| Tl*- while stopped at a traffic light the contact put the 2002 honda cr-v into park and then switched the gear back to drive, but the shift locked into gear and would not switch over to drive. the contact had experienced the failure 3 times this year. the contact took vehicle to the dealership, and they replaced a fuse. the contact was not sure which fuse they replaced because he did not have a copy of the invoice. the failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 52,000. *ak update *tr | |||
