  2. Recall 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 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.
