What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the hole in the sheetmetal front bulkhead that serves as the base and pivot point for the hood support rod was not punched to specification. The hood support rod may fail to hold the hood in position due to insufficient strength.
The risk
If the hood support rod hole fails, the hood could fall increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the prop rod base hole and, if necessary, install reinforcement parts free of charge. The recall began on december 5, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-[removed].
