2007 HONDA ELEMENT Recalls Canada & USA

2007 HONDA ELEMENT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2007 Honda Element has two recalls, the more serious being a brake system issue where air can gradually accumulate in the anti-lock brake pump, reducing braking performance over time and raising the risk of a crash. The second recall affects vehicles equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness: the turn signal wire and brake light wire were swapped during assembly, so trailer turn signals only light up when the brakes are applied rather than when the driver signals a turn. This means other drivers cannot see the turn signals working as expected, which can increase the risk of a collision when towing.

TRAILER HITCHES

Defect

Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 Element passenger vehicles equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness. The wire that supplies power to the trailer turn signal lights was inadvertently switched with the stop lamp wire. As a result the turn signals only illuminate when the brake lamps are illuminated. This does not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety Risk

Without trailer turn signal illumination, the driver's intent is not communicated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on September 20, 2012. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
