    Honda Recalls Over 143,000 Civic and Fits For An Issue With the CVT

      Honda Is Calling Back the Civic and Fit for an Issue with the CVT


    Honda is recalling 143,676 examples of the 2014-2015 Civic and 2015 Fit over a problem with the CVT. According to the company in a statement, the transmission software is programmed to use high hydraulic pressure at certain times, which puts a lot of stress on the on the drive pulley shaft. Honda goes on to say certain components of the drive pulley shaft may have been produced at the low end of the hardness specification. This combination could cause the shaft to break and cause the front wheels to lose power or lock up.

     

    According to NHTSA, there are 23 warranty claims for this problem, with the first one happening in July of 2014. Honda says no injuries has been reported for this issue.

     

    Honda will begin notifying owners later this month. Dealers will update the software for the CVT.

    WOW, just a software update, so they will stop using the High pressure and reduce the performance of the auto so they do not have to replace the drive pulley shaft. 

     

    Sounds like Cheapness over profits by Honda.

     

    Corporate Greed at it's best rather than quality to the customer.

    • Any fan with half a brain knew they were a worse team than last year. I think they should be better than they are, but they're worse than last year before the season started. Now they're riddled with injuries, too. 
    • In business, it is a countable noun, it tends to mean to stop or cause something to stop, usually before possibly continuing again. Based on how business sees a stall, I would have to say that Ford would be committed if they were moving forward with updates on the existing EVs, instead they have stopped all further development as they wait for their so-called skunk works project which makes no sense to me. Other than the few updates that Ford Confirmed at the start of this year for Mach-e and F150 Lighting, everything else has been Stalled as the engineers have been reassigned to Hybrid or HD work according to ford. Ford Commitment would be moving forward to lower cost on current EVs rather than stopping the building of the battery plants that would lower cost as well as other plant use. IMHO Two different segments, totally different type of customers. The approach to how it is seen in the industry is very different as to why the media tends to not group fleet and retail together.
    • I guess I don't understand why it matters if it is a retail customer or a fleet customer. They've sold ~10,000 of them this year.

    • Notice how they say "stall" and not "cancel" ? Just because they're delaying things, doesn't mean they're not committed to them.  Just because they won't have 10 out by 2030, doesn't mean they're not committed. They still have multiple EV manufacturing plants going up. One in Michigan, one in Tennessee, and two battery plants in Kentucky. Yes, they've been delayed, but they didn't stop construction and just abandon the plans all together. They're spending billions on these plants yet somehow you and David don't think they're committed.
