- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission:park/neutral start switch
- Manufactured:
- 10/21/1997 - 01/06/1998
- Affected:
- 33,966

- Consequence:
- This condition can cause the vehicle to roll down an incline when the transmission is locked in "park," increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a collar on the transmission parking pawl to ensure proper movement of the actuation lever.

- Manufactured:
- 04/27/1997 - 08/24/1998
- Affected:
- 1,000,000
- Defect:

- Manufactured:
- 08/04/1997 - 08/20/1998
- Affected:
- 563,861
- Defect:
- On certain passenger vehicles and mini vans, the ignition switch may wear excessively and prevent proper interlock operation, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to "park."
- Consequence:
- If the vehicle operator does not shift to "park" before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
- Correction:
- Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that determines the amount of cylinder body wear. if significant wear is indicated, the dealer will replace the cylinder body, collar, and latch plate. if no signs of wear are indicated, dealers will replace the latch plate with a redesigned part. owner notification began december 8, 2003. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238.
