Brake Booster may have a Vacuum Leak

NHTSA #13V246000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic — Power Assist — Vacuum · NHTSA notice

Reported June 13, 2013 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

Potentially affected: 18,352 vehicles

Honda campaign JA4, JA5 · Owners notified July 27, 2014 · Vehicles built July 20, 2006 – November 13, 2006 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2006 Acura RSX vehicles manufactured January 18, 2006, through August 12, 2006; and model year 2006-2007 Honda S2000 vehicles manufactured January 19, 2006, through November 13, 2006. The brake booster may be unable to maintain a vacuum when the brake pedal is depressed, decreasing brake assist.

Safety consequence

With reduced braking assistance, the vehicle may require additional brake pedal force to prevent a lengthened stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake booster assembly. If necessary, the dealers will replace the booster assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during July 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-310-783-2000. Honda's recall number is JA4. Acura's recall number is JA5.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Incident: September 2, 2016 · Filed: November 4, 2016

I HAD MY MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED WHEN MY CAR WAS AT 40,000 MILES IN THE CLUTCH. NOW AT 68,777 MILES THE CLUTCH HAS SOMETHING WRONG BUT STILL SHIFTS INTO GEAR AT THIS POINT. NOW THEY ARE GUESSING THAT THE CLUTCH FORK IS WEARING OUT WHICH IS OVER $2,000.00 TO REPLACE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A HONDA PART. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE TO HAVE THIS REPLACED RIGHT NOW SO I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE IT BY HONDA. IF IT GOES OUT ON THE FREEWAY I WON'T BE ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. MY CAR IS NOT BEEN DRIVING HARD AND IT'S WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND SERVICED PROPERLY ALONG WITH BEING GARAGED ALWAYS. I PUT AROUND 8,000 MILES A YEAR ON IT AND I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT WELL. I DON'T RACE IT OR SPEED SHIFT EVER. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR HAS FAULTY PARTS IN THE CLUTCH AND PLATES ALONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT CARS AND DID MY RESEARCH ON HONDA'S. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE LONG TIME RUNNING CARS. I EVEN TOOK OUT A 7 YEAR WARRANTY SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH OUT OF POCKET. IF IT WAS DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENING I WOULDN'T QUESTION IT BUT THIS IS ALL TRANSMISSION THINGS AND I'M VERY WORRIED THAT THEY WERE FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH. WHEN I PRESS THE CLUTCH DOWN IT SOMETIMES CATCHES AT THE TOP PART. IF THAT DOESN'T ENGAGE I CAN'T SLOW DOWN OR STOP. *TR
