Honda to Recall 81,000 2004-2005 Honda Accords

In Washington: Owners of 2004 or 2005 Honda Accord are advised to be a little more careful. This was after Honda Motor Corporation announced a recall for 81,000 of their 2004-2005 Accord sedans.
According to the letter sent by Honda Motors, maker of quality Honda parts to NHTSA dated January 9, the wiring harness for the seat position sensor of the 2004-2005 Honda Accord which supposedly detects the driver’s seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure accordingly, was attached in the wrong location and may have been over tightened as well.
Honda believes that the sensor wire could break and could cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated and prevent the sensor from working properly. This could be fatal especially during a crash since the airbag may tend to inflate at full pressure thus increasing the risk of injury from the airbag for smaller drivers particularly in a frontal crash.
According to Chris Naughton, Honda spokesman the company have not yet heard of any injuries or incidents connected to the recall. Accidents or no accidents, the recall will start in early February. Dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring sub-harnesses added Honda.
And for those who own one of these cars, if ever your airbag warning light is currently illuminated don’t wait for the recall and take your car to your local Honda dealer as soon as possible.
For more details on the recall contact Honda at (800) 999-1009.
Here is the NHTSA text of the recall:
HONDA / ACCORD 2004-2005
Recall Number: 07V001000
Summary:
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER’S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND THE SPS TO FAIL.
Consequence:
A FAILURE OF THE SPS CAUSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO DEFAULT TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT POSITION. FULL DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER’S AIR BAG CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY FOR SMALLER DRIVERS IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING SUBHARNESS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING EARLY FEBRUARY 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION’S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
Pickup Trucks And Safety
Posted by admin on 26 May 2011 | 0 comment | Filed in Auto Shows
Recent news has the consumer population clamoring about whether or not the cars we drive are really safe. Forbes came out with an article on July 30, 2007 by Bengt Halvorson titled “Top 20 Most Dangerous Vehicles,” that uncovered some unnerving facts about pickup trucks in general. According to the article, “Pickups as a class have the highest rate of fatality and serious injury,” said Michael Dulberger, president of Informed for Life – a safety advocacy group.
Sound familiar? A few years back, we heard the same complaint about SUVs. The uproar – and America’s reluctance to give up their SUVs despite safety concerns – prompted SUV manufacturers to add safety features to Sport Utility Vehicles.
Several pickup trucks, however, already have a leg up on the competition. Specifically, Isuzu’s two high-performance pickup trucks: the i-290 and i-370. Both models offer a wide variety of safety features you might only expect to find on a Sport Utility.
The first and perhaps most important, is the Electronic Traction Control option which also includes Automatic Locking Rear Differential. The feature helps provide more controlled acceleration on slippery surfaces and in severe weather conditions by reducing engine power to reduce wheel spin. Another features is the pickup’s push-system that allows the driver to shift from 2-wheel-drive to 4-wheel drive on-the-fly. Anti-Lock Braking Systems are a must when it comes to safety and Isuzu’s pickups offer 4-wheel anti-lock brakes to reduce wheel lockup on slippery surfaces when the need to brake hard arises. Daytime running lights and a tire pressure monitoring system also make Isuzu’s pickups safer than many competitors. The pickups also sport Head-Curtain Side Impact Airbags and an automatic Airbag Suppression System in the event that an accident should occur.
By comparison, here’s a list of the pickup trucks that made the list of the Top 20 Most Dangerous: the Ford Ranger/Mazda B-Series which doesn’t offer stability control, side airbags or curtain airbags; the Nissan Frontier (Extended Cab) ; and the Dodge Dakota 4-door pickup (side airbags and curtain airbags are optional). A few SUVs also made the list like the Nissan Xterra, and the remainder (as one might predict) was populated by very small economy cars such as the Saturn ION and Mazda3.
While the trend is typically to make vehicles safer by adding both passive and active safety features, the reality is that certain cars tend to fare better in accidents than others. Small, lightweight cars are no match in a collision with an SUV even if they possess enhanced safety features. While pickup trucks tend to fare better than cars in SUV collisions, it’s evident from the aforementioned study that many pickup truck manufacturers simply aren’t adding valuable safety features to their pickup lines in the way they are on SUVs.
Pickup truck enthusiasts shouldn’t have to compromise safety to drive the vehicles they love. Demanding SUV safety features be added either as standard or optional to pickups is the first step. Purchasing pickups that have these features – like the Isuzu i-370 or i-290 – will entice others in the automotive industry to follow suit and soon, pickups will be as safe as SUVs.
