发帖数: 11530 | 1 Statement by American Honda Regarding CVT Drive Pulley Shaft Recall: 2014-
2015 Civic and 2015 Honda Fit
Oct 1, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif.
Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 143,000 model-year 2014-2015
Civic and 2015 Fit vehicles in the United States to update the software that
manages the continuously variable transmission (CVT), free of charge.
Affected vehicles have CVT control software that is written to use high
hydraulic pressure during certain CVT operation modes, which as a result may
subject the drive pulley shaft to high stress. In addition, during
manufacturing of the drive pulley shaft, some parts may have been produced
at the low end of the hardness specification. If shafts with lower hardness
are repeatedly subjected to the specific high hydraulic pressure modes, it
may result in the shaft breaking during operation. If the drive pulley shaft
breaks, the vehicle may lose acceleration or the front wheels may lock up
while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. No crashes or injuries have
been reported related to this issue, which was discovered through the
warranty claim process in the United States.
Honda is announcing this recall to encourage each owner of an affected
vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive
notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to customers
will begin in mid-October, 2015. Additionally, owners of these vehicles can
determine if their vehicles require repair now by going to www.recalls.honda
.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
