The remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear wheel speed sensors. if an incorrect gap IS detected, the sensor will be removed and the knuckle checked for cross threading damage. if damage IS found, the knuckle will be replaced. if no damage IS found, the sensor will be reinstalled correctly. the recall began on november 12, 2004. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
