NHTSA Recall No. : 15V-574

Description of Defect :

Description of the Defect : The CVT software in affected vehicles is written to use high hydraulic pressure during certain CVT operation modes, which as a result may subject the drive pulley shaft to high stress. In addition, during manufacturing of the drive pulley shaft, some parts may have been produced at the low end of the hardness specification. If shafts with lower hardness are repeatedly subjected to the specific high hydraulic pressure modes, it may result in the shaft breaking during operation.

Vehicle : 2014-2015 HONDA CIVC

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : The owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to a Honda automobile dealer. The dealer will install a CVT software update that contains a stress reduction program, free of charge. Because the new vehicle warranty on all affected vehicles would have provided a free repair for the problem addressed by this recall, without any payment by the owner, reimbursement for pre-notification repairs will not be offered.

Planned Owner Notification Date :
OCT 16, 2015 - OCT 16, 2015
