Losing brake fluid is quite a biggie. Honda issued a recall for nearly 400 vehicles equipped with a vehicle stability assist modulator containing a ball valve that may leak brake fluid, thus increasing brake pedal travel. Unintended vehicle movement with the brake hold feature engaged is also noted.
The Japanese automaker became aware of this problem back on December 12 last year by means of a notification from Continental Automotive Systems, the supplier of the VSA modulator assembly. Depending on the make, model, and vehicle configuration, said assembly is listed under no fewer than six part numbers in the NHTSA report attached below.
No warranty claims and no reports of accidents related to this condition have been received by American Honda Motor Co. Dealers have already been instructed to replace the VSA modular at no charge to the customers, which are to be informed of this recall by first-class mail on July 24, 2023.
Anyone who incurred expenses to replace the VSA modular is eligible for reimbursement, although that scenario is nigh-on impossible because all vehicles included in this campaign are still under warranty. The vehicles in question are the 2023 model year Honda Civic, the 2022 model year Accord, the 2023 Acura Integra, and the 2023 RDX. Production dates range between November 23, 2022, and January 4, 2023.
Owners can run the vehicle identification number on the NHTSA's website to find out whether the vehicle is recalled or not. Alternatively, owners can contact the nearest retailers or the automaker's customer service for more information.
Rather surprisingly, Honda passenger vehicle deliveries in the United States market decreased by a whopping 33 percent in 2022 compared to 2021. Although we're past the worst stage of the global semiconductor crisis, supply chain-related issues and high interest rates continue to hamper every manufacturer out there, including Honda and its luxury division Acura.
The Accord is – without a shadow of a doubt – the most popular of the four nameplates mentioned earlier. No fewer than 133,932 units were delivered in 2022 stateside, down an eye-watering 49.4 percent versus the 263,787 from 2021.
The Accord finished 2022 with 154,612 units to its name compared to 202,676 in the year prior. As for the Acura Integra and RDX, make that 13,027 and 24,749 units, respectively.
Available with four-cylinder lumps from the entry-level trim all the way up to the Type R, the Civic for the US market is priced between $23,750 for the four-door sedan to $43,795 for the hatchback-bodied Type R. The Accord comes with either internal combustion or hybrid assistance. For the 2023 model year, pricing starts at $27,295 and $31,895, respectively.
As for Acura, the Integra is best described as a Civic hatchback in a fancy suit. The long-awaited replacement for the ILX can be yours from $31,500, sans freight, whereas the Type S carries a manufacturer suggested retail price of $50,800. Last but certainly not least, you can get an RDX for $41,750.
