Honda S2000 recalls in Canada

Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

2007 Honda S2000 Recall 2013207 12 Jun 2013 779 units in Canada

Brakes

On certain vehicles, the brake booster may have been manufactured incorrectly and could develop a leak. As such, the booster may be unable to maintain vacuum when the brake pedal is depressed. Loss of brake power assist could occur, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster assembly.

2000 Honda S2000 Recall 2004188 8 Jun 2004 650 units in Canada

Lights And Instruments

Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108. The lens of the side marker lamp and side reflex reflector in the tail lamp assembly were manufactured with incorrect dye that is more susceptible to UV and high temperature decomposition. As a result, the red colour could fade over time. Correction: Dealers will replace all affected tail lamp assemblies.

2000 Honda S2000 Recall 2000237 23 Oct 2000 750 units in Canada

Seats And Restraints

On certain vehicles, the seat belt retractor actuator can deform and cause unwanted, complete or infrequent, locking of the retractor. As a result, it may not be possible to pull the seat belt out of the retractor, rendering the belt unusable. Correction: Seat belt retractor will be repaired.

2000 Honda S2000 Recall 2000046 28 Feb 2000 390 units in Canada

Seats And Restraints

On certain vehicles, the seat belts may not retract properly due to interference between the seat and the convertible top cover. This could cause excessive slack in the belts thereby reducing their effectiveness increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in a collision. Correction: The convertible top cover will be replaced with a new cover designed to prevent interference with the seat belt.
