NHTSA campaign 07V399000 · reported September 5, 2007 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 260,000 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an o-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing.

- The risk
- This could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the rear ABS sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
