NHTSA Complaint #10293203 — 2002 HONDA CIVIC

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE RELATED TO HONDA RECALL BULLETIN[04-015]. MY HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND HARNESS IS OVERHEATING AND SMOKING. THIS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS AND FIRE IN THE COCKPIT. HONDA SAYS MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS ON RECALLED VEHICLES. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH AND COUPLER FOR SIGNS OF HEAT DAMAGE. IF HEAT DAMAGE IS PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE SWITCH AND COUPLER. IF NO HEAT DAMAGE IS PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH AND ONE MATING PIN IN THE COUPLER. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALER AND HONDA MOTORS AMERICA STATE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER THE PART AND ISSUE ARE THE EXACT SAME ATTACHED TO THE RECALL. *TR
