Dealers will inspect the wire harness connector position and check for damage. If any damage is found, dealers will replace the necessary parts. If no damage is found, dealers will reposition the connector, and make sure adequate clearance exists. The recall began on december 8, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
