Safety Recall: Power Window Master Switch May Not Work (Supersedes 10-008, dated March 15, 2010, to revise the information marked by the black
bars and asterisks)
*REVISION SUMMARY
Under REPAIR PROCEDURE, step 10 now shows more examples of PCB moisture damage and corrosion.*
BACKGROUND
Under severe conditions, water or other liquid may enter the drive's window and reach the power window master switch on the door panel. Liquid in the
switch can damage the switch's printed circuit board (PCB), causing the switch to fail. In rare cases, the damaged PCB creates a short circuit that
overheats the switch connectors and melts them, leading to a possible fire.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this campaign. An example of the customer notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
To verify vehicle eligibility, you must check at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this campaign has
already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they
are sold.
Should an unrepaired vehicle cause an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and
will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status
inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the power window master switch. Depending on what you find, do one of these actions:
^ Apply a protective skirt to the original switch.
^ Install a new switch with a protective skirt.
^ Replace the driver's door wire harness, and install a new switch with a protective skirt.
