Potential Number of Units Affected: 125380Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. Certain vehicles were manufactured
with ball joints that can prematurely wear out and, in the worse case, the ball
joint would separate causing the front suspension to collapse.
This condition would result in vehicle deceleration and a sudden loss of power.
Also steering controllability would be reduced.
Dealers will replace the front suspension lower ball joints.
Owner notification is expected to begin during May-June 1999. Owners who take
their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not
receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda at
1-800-999-1009 or Acura 1-800-382-2238. Also contact the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration''s Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT
