Engine and engine cooling: engine
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, certain parts of the integrated motor assist (ima) system are located under a metal cover behind the rear seat-back. Over time the weight of rear seat passengers may cause the metal cover to come into contact with a rubber cap covering an electrical terminal. The rubber cap may get pinched, exposing the electrical terminal.
- Risk
- The terminal may come into contact with the metal cover, which can result in an electrical short that may blow the ima fuse. A blown fuse will cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a plastic cover attached to a metal bracket over the rubber cap. The recall began on february 26, 2006. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
