Accord L4-1829cc 1.8L SOHC ES, ET FI (1985)
All owners of affected cars will be notified of this update by mail (see back for customer postcard).
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
For coolant testing only, use operation number 114500, defect code 476, and a total time of 0.2 hour.
For coolant testing and correction of antifreeze concentration, use operation number 114190, defect code 476, and a total time of 0.4 hour.
Your Accord may need more antifreeze.
Some '85 Accords do not have the correct mix of antifreeze and water in their cooling systems. This means:
^
Ice could form in the coolant in temperatures below 0~ F with the engine off. When the car is started, the ice could then block the circulation of
coolant, causing overheating, which could damage the engine.
^
Aluminum parts of the engine won't be adequately protected from corrosion.
Please call your Honda dealer and make an appointment to have the coolant in your Accord tested and, if necessary, corrected. The testing and any
antifreeze required are free.
Sincerely, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
