got it in the mail today..."honda motor co ltd has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 07-08 fit vehicles. iin the salt-belt states, the moisture from a drivers wet shoes may penetrate an under-carpet wire harness and cause the passengers side and front airbags to malfunction."

says to take car in to see if the car needs to be fixed? anybody else get this? i lived in md. should i bring it in?

 

yes i did it came in today

 

had it done about a month ago takes bout an hour... i recomend doing it... FYI they use an Odysse wiring harness lol

 

cool. what exactly do they do? pull up the carpet and change the harness or replace the carpet?

 

if you read the bulletin (someone had a link), they pull up the carpeting
on the driver's side, redo the harness insulation on several of the SRS
wires using new wraps and put everything back together.

i got my notice in the mail today which is weird cause my dealer's
tech mentioned his team did my car before purchase back on 12/6.

he mentioned that the work was done but american honda's database
may not yet been updated. my SA mentioned yesterday (i took my
car in for an alignment since it was lowered) that the workorder was
initiated but the job was not completed.... im not sure who's right
but im not too worried about it. will give it until i go in for my free
oil change in 4-5 months to have them recheck the database.

 

I also have this notice, will do it after new year. Honda service told me; this will take half a day do do this.

 

Alot of people have already got theres in the mail and had theres fixed. Its mostly northern stated who got the recall, California is not getting it.

i haven't got my letter yet, but i checked online and i'm definitely part of it. then when i went to a closer dealer than the one i bought mine from, they said they didn't have the parts

so maybe eventually i'll get it taken care of, ha.

 

in the bulletin they list some special wraps (insulators). it's rather overkill.

I merged your thread into this one. Please use our serach function.

is there a way to check if we need to get it done or not without having to go to the dealer or call them?(ie a url, haha). i cant find the paper.

 

Got mine today. sucky.

 

Must be a "US only" recall. I'll pull my carpet up and eurthane the connectors thursday thanks for the FYI

 

I received this notice today. What do they mean by Salt-States?

 

States that use Salt to de-ice the roads in winter

 

i also live in quebec and no letter from honda canada...

 

good to knnow! i was getting worried because i didn't get one..

 

I still haven't gotten one.

So what happens if someone spills an entire drink on the carpet? Is it going to explode?

 

yes, it will start a count down sequence.


lol...
