Safety Recall: 2003-04 Odyssey and 2003-04 Pilot Key Is Removable With Shift Lever Out of Park
BACKGROUND
If the customer regularly tries to remove the key before shifting the vehicle into Park, the lever may wear excessively allowing the key to be removed when the vehicle is not in Park. If the ignition key is removed and the vehicle is not in Park and the parking brake is not set, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the chance of a crash.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this campaign in February 2013. An example of this customer notification is included at the end of this service bulletin.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should your dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes injury or damage because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the key interlock, and based on the results, either install interlock lever kit or install the lock cylinder kit.
