Safety Recall: Left (Driver’s Side) Driveshaft

BACKGROUND
During manufacturing, a circlip that locks the shaft to the outboard CV joint may not be properly set. If the shaft backs out of the CV joint, the vehicle can’t move in any gear, and it may also roll away when the shift lever is in Park without the parking brake set.

VEHICLES AFFECTED
2012 Civic with Automatic Transmission

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification for this campaign in June 2012. An example of the 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.

Should a dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes an 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 campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the outboard CV joint and, if necessary, replace the driveshaft.
