Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2007 HONDA ELEMENT vehicles due to trailer hitches issues. Without trailer turn signal illumination, the driver's intent is not communicated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash..
Summary derived from NHTSA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by NHTSA
Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 Element passenger vehicles equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness. The wire that supplies power to the trailer turn signal lights was inadvertently switched with the stop lamp wire. As a result the turn signals only illuminate when the brake lamps are illuminated. This does not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Reported concern (NHTSA)
Without trailer turn signal illumination, the driver's intent is not communicated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Recommended Action
Per NHTSA guidance
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on September 20, 2012. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
