Sparky Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Honda has written to all Civic drivers in Britain to notify them of problems with faulty handbrakes. The Japanese firm said it was sending out letters to 63,000 drivers of the Swindon-produced car to alert them to the problem It comes after a number of customer complaints that the handbrake did not stick if applied when pushing the release button. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7312427.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerpalmer Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 This is old news unfortunately. My wife has an 06 new civic, and she had the handbrake recall in december 07. However, Honda did not have the parts, and would not be able to resolve the issue before April So....we are waiting for Honda to contact us, to say that they now have the replacement parts...until then, don't rely on the handbrake..... There have been a few recalls for this car, including steering rack, rear shocks and fuel filler cap...teething problems with early models i assume. Nice car to drive tho, cheap to run and great interior Just waiting for the next recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I only posted it as several Civic owners I know haven't had any letter from Honda yet. Guess it's not that serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
