Honda Recall 12-063

[napawino]

My dealer sent me a post card informing me that I had an open recall #12-063 on my 2003 Pilot. Does anyone know what this recall is about?
Thank you,

headlight switch recall?

[napawino]

The headlight switch has already been replaced under recall. I do not know what this recall is all about.

That recall number doesn't match anything I tried google-ing.

I bet they pulled a report of customers with affected Pilots and sent out the postcard without checking who had been in. Nice sales technique!

I tried the google method and I also came up empty. That is why I posted it here. I think it is a sales gimmick.

Not a sales gimmick it is an actually Safety Recall for those vehicles affected by select VIN.



Safety Recall: Ignition Key is Removable With the Shift Lever Out of Park
(Supersedes 12-063, dated December 11, 2012, to provide more information about this safety recall.)
BACKGROUND
Affected ignition switch interlock levers may deform making it possible to remove the key when the shift lever is out
of Park. If the driver does not put the shift lever in Park and set the parking brake when parking, the vehicle could
roll, and a crash could occur.
If you have a customer who is concerned about the safety of their vehicle, you can advise them that the vehicle is
safe to operate if the transmission selector is set to Park and the parking brake is firmly set before removing the
key from the ignition.
To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this campaign, do
a VIN status inquiry.
A complete service bulletin that includes PARTS INFORMATION, WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, and a
REPAIR PROCEDURE will be posted at the end of January 2013
