BACKGROUND
*In certain vehicles, a higher than normal number of automatic transmissions may have defects in material or workmanship that could cause premature wear or failure. To ensure that customers have adequate warranty coverage, American Honda is increasing the warranty on the transmission and the torque converter to 93 months (7 years and 9 months) or 109,000 miles, whichever occurs first.*
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
*The court sent a notification to all potentially affected customers in August/September 2006. The mailed notification was sent to original registered purchasers, and it informed them of the terms of the proposed settlement. A notice of the approved settlement also appeared in national newspapers and news websites.*
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If standard diagnostics confirm an internal problem with the torque converter or the automatic transmission, replace the affected unit.
