Warranty Extension: 1992 - 93 Integra Distributor

BACKGROUND

Climate and driving conditions in the southeastern part of the U.S., California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico may cause the distributor bearing to develop excessive clearance. If this happens, the engine will not start.

This problem is rare in the northern part of the country. However, in the interests of customer satisfaction, American Honda is extending the warranty on the distributor assembly in that area to 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

VEHICLES AFFECTED

1993 Integra:

GENERAL INFORMATION





Owners who live in the shaded area of the map shown will be notified that the warranty on the distributor assembly has been extended. They will be advised to contact the dealer for repair only if the distributor fails. The text of the customer letter is at the end of this service bulletin.

A Product Update Campaign is being conducted in the southeastern U.S. California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Refer to the maps and zip code information in service bulletin 96-015, Product Update Campaign: 1992 - 93 Integra Distributor

The shaded area in the map shows the states that are included in the Warranty Extension. Two states, Arkansas and Tennessee, are partly in Region B of the Product Update, and partly in the Warranty Extension area.

Arkansas - If the first two digits of the customer's zip code are 71, then that customer is in Region B of the Product Update. If the first two digits are not 71, then the customer is covered by the warranty extension.

Tennessee - If the first two digits of the customer's zip code are 38, then that customer is in Region B of the Product Update. If the first two digits are not 38, then the customer is covered by the warranty extension.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

When the customer's car comes in with a failed distributor, replace the distributor housing assembly with the new assembly listed under PARTS
INFORMATION. Use the existing coil, igniter, leak cover, rotor, cap seal, and distributor cap.

Diagnosis

Inspect the distributor bearing for excessive clearance by confirming one or more of the following:

^ Excessive noise when the distributor is rotated.

^ Red or brown dust inside the distributor.

^ The distributor shaft will not turn.
