Yesterday, October 6, 2016, American Honda notified NHTSA of a Stop Sale and Safety Recall for certain model year 2016 Civic vehicles due to VSA software issues that may cause problems with the electric parking brake. Any new or used units in dealer stock must be repaired per service bulletin, 16-090, Safety Recall: Electric Parking Brake & VSA DTC U3000-49 Software Update. Refer to your eResponsibility report or VIN inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected. American Honda expects to begin customer notification in early November 2016.
Note: Some vehicles affected by this recall may be in your new or used vehicle inventory. Failure to inspect and, if needed repair, a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. In addition, state law may provide American Honda with the right to seek indemnification in any such claim or lawsuit.
Problem
If the electric parking brake is operated shortly after turning the ignition off, if the VSA system is storing data, it may cause DTC U3000-49, potentially causing the BRAKE indicator to blink for 15 seconds and/or the electric parking brake to fail to set.
Software Information
Updated software to support this recall is available to all dealers as of October 7, 2016.
Campaign Information
Service bulletin 16-090 has been posted to the Service Information System as of October 7, 2016 and includes warranty, software, and update information related to the recall and product update campaigns.
Warranty and Update Information
Warranty and update information is detailed in service bulletin 16-090.
As always, be sure to check VIN status inquiry to determine eligibility for this or any other campaign.
