Front Suspension Coil Spring problems of the 2005 Honda Civic

Nhtsa recall campaign number: 97v140000 component: suspension:front:springs:coil springs details: vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Road grit and gravel associated with winter road conditions can penetrate the rubber of the lower front spring mounts and accumulate in the mounts causing notches or pits to develop. These notches can develop cracks resulting in breakage of a bottom coil of the spring. Consequence: the vehicles ride height could be affected causing noise while the vehicle is driven. The vehicles dynamic stability can be affected reducing the drivers ability to maintain control of the vehicle. Corrective action: dealers will replace both front springs and lower spring mounts.
