Acura interlock lever of the ignition switch may deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic transmission to be defeated.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the ignition switch. Here is what owners need to know.
The interlock lever of the ignition switch may deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic transmission to be defeated.
Removal of the ignition key when the gear selector of a vehicle with an automatic transmission has not been shifted to the park position can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will install an updated shift interlock lever and, if necessary, replace any necessary part of the ignition switch, free of charge.
