Honda Motor CO Civic: Vehicle Stability Control May Not Operate Correctly

Recall Summary Honda is recalling 97 Civic vehicles in the United Kingdom because a filter in the Vehicle Stability Assist/Anti-lock braking modulator may break and damage a check valve, preventing the stability control system from working properly. In certain driving conditions, the vehicle's stability control may not function as intended, which could result in a skid or loss of vehicle control, though the regular braking system will still work. Honda will replace the modulator in affected vehicles.

Reason

A filter in the Vehicle Stability Assist / Anti lock braking modulator may break and foul one of the one-way check valves in the modulator. If the check valve does not operate correctly the vehicle stability control (using brake pressure) will not operate correctly. In some driving conditions the vehicle stability system may not be able to control the vehicle as intended and this may result in a skid or loss of vehicle control. The braking system does not lose function. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the VSA modulator.
