Summary
Owner Notification Letter - On some Accord Hybrid
models, the brake tandem motor cylinder may only operate in failsafe mode if saltwater (in areas where road salt is used) enters the brake tandem motor cylinder and corrodes its metal components. The saltwater is able to enter the motor due to small gaps in the motor cover that result from issues in the manufacturing process. If the brake tandem motor cylinder enters into failsafe mode, instrument panel indicators will come on to alert the driver and there will be an increase in brake pedal travel during braking.

be an increase in brake pedal travel during braking.

Actualización de producto: Cilindro del motor en tándem de los frenos del Accord Hybrid
2017
Estimado FIRSTNAME LASTNAME:
En algunos modelos Accord Hybrid
, el cilindro del motor en tándem puede funcionar solamente en modo de seguridad si
ingresa agua salada (en áreas donde se utiliza la sal de carretera) en el cilindro del motor en tándem de los frenos y
corroer sus componentes metálicos. El agua salada puede ingresar al motor por los espacios pequeños en la cubierta del
motor que resultan de problemas en el proceso de fabricación. Si el cilindro del motor en tándem de los frenos ingresa en
el modo de seguridad, los indicadores del panel de instrumentos se encenderán para alertar al conductor y habrá un
aumento en el recorrido del pedal del freno durante el frenado.
¿Qué hará Honda
?

autorizado para coordinar una cita para el reemplazo del motor en
