If you believe that your vehicle
has a defect which could cause a
crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or American
Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may
either call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or
202-366-0123 in the Washington,
D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA
U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C. 20590
You can also obtain other
information about motor vehicle
safety from the Hotline.
The burning of gasoline in your
vehicle's engine produces several
by-products. Some of these are
carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons
(HC). Gasoline evaporating from
the tank also produces
hydrocarbons. Controlling the
production of NOx, CO, and HC is
important to the environment.
Under certain conditions of
sunlight and climate, NOx and HC
react to form photochemical
"smog." Carbon monoxide does
not contribute to smog creation,
but it is a poisonous gas.
The Clean Air Act
The United States Clean Air Act
sets standards for automobile
emissions. It also requires that
automobile manufacturers explain
to owners how their emissions
controls work and what to do to
