The problem
Honda is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Honda civic hybrid vehicles. There is a potential for the voltage converter that relays power from the integrated motor assist (ima) system to the vehicle's electrical components to fail.
The risk
This failure will cause the headlights to turn off, the engine to stall, and prevent the vehicle from being restarted, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the voltage converter free of charge. The safety recall began on March 25, 2011. Owners May contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009 a select option 4.
