My lowbeams all of a sudden stopped working. I checked the fuses, they are fine. My running/fog lights, blinkers, and high beams all work. It sounds exactly like the recall the dealer has for the previous generations of my car found here: https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/documentum/recall_press%2frecall_press_release_0000060.pdf.

Exterior lighting: brake lights: switchReported September 5, 2007 · 130,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain sedan and hybrid (cng) vehicles, during assembly, the telescopic steering column mechanism may have been over-lubricated with silicone grease. Over time, some of this extra grease may drip on the brake light switch causing the switch to fail.
Risk
Failure may result in a loss of brake lights and an increased risk that the vehicle could be struck in the rear. In addition, a failed brake light switch could prevent shifting the transmission from the park position (vehicles with an automatic transmission).
Remedy
Dealers will replace the brake light switch and install a protective cover overthe switch free of charge. The recall began on october 2, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
