Just the Facts:Honda continues tweaking its Civic model lineup, freshening exterior styling for the 2014 Civic Coupe and Coupe Si.The performance-oriented Civic Si models get another 5 horsepower and a revised suspension. The bold-looking but sleepy-performing CR-Z hybrid gets a heavy-duty tune-up from Honda's HPD performance-tuning unit in time for the 2013 SEMA Show.

LOS ANGELES — After healthy exterior and interior tweaks to the 2013 Civic sedan, Honda's refreshing the look of the 2014 Civic Coupe and also injecting a little extra power and torque for the 2014 versions of the Civic Si models.


And just in time for this week's annual SEMA aftermarket-performance show in Las Vegas, Honda unveils the HPD CR-Z Street Performance, a performance version of the CR-Z hybrid modified by Honda Performance Development.


The 2014 Civic Coupe gets renewed styling in the form of a bolder grille and a revised fender, hood and headlight design. There also are restyled taillight lenses, more assertive front and rear bumpers, new side mirrors and new wheel designs, including a wheel upsizing for some 2014 Civic Coupe trim levels.


Meanwhile, the performance-oriented Civic Si Coupe gets essentially the same exterior makeover, but amps up the impact with "Si-exclusive design cues" that include a unique lower front bumper garnish, larger spoiler on the rear deck and Si-specific front and rear air diffusers. Both the Si Coupe and Si Sedan get larger 18-inch wheels with new wheel designs.


That's not all for the 2014 Civic Si models. Thanks to revised exhaust tuning, there's a 4-horsepower boost to 205 hp in total and torque also improves by 4 pound-feet to 174 lb-ft. To accompany the power boost, the 2014 Civic Si Coupe and Sedan have tightened suspension tuning via higher spring rates, new dampers and a stiffer rear stabilizer bar.


Honda this week also revealed the HPD CR-Z Street Performance, a highly modified version of the CR-Z hybrid meant to display the scope of performance accessories available from Honda Performance Development, the company's aftermarket-tuning division. At the heart of the HPD CR-Z's transformation is an HPD-designed supercharger for the car's 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that boosts total power to 190 hp. Other HPD accessories include a sport suspension kit, front brake kit, sport exhaust, special 18-inch alloy wheels and a variety of cosmetic tweaks.


Edmunds says: After an early stumble with the current-generation Civic line, Honda seems determined to return the Civic to the top of the compact-car heap.

There's not much that owners of these Odyssey minivans can do at the moment except to follow the instructions in the interim letter and to wait for parts. | November 04, 2013 | American Honda Motor Company

Just the Facts:Honda is recalling 344,187 2007-'08 Honda Odyssey minivans because the Vehicle Safety Assist System may apply the brakes unexpectedly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.No crashes or injuries have been linked to the recall, according to Honda.Due to a shortage of parts, the recall will not begin until March 2014.

WASHINGTON — Honda is recalling 344,187 2007-'08 Honda Odyssey minivans because the Vehicle Safety Assist System may apply the brakes unexpectedly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"Due to a combination of system components and software, the Vehicle Safety Assist System (VSA) may apply the brakes unexpectedly," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "The vehicle may suddenly and unexpectedly brake hard, and without illuminating the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash from behind."

No crashes or injuries have been linked to the recall, according to Honda. The affected vehicles were built from August 8, 2006 through September 8, 2008.

As of June 30, 2013, Honda told federal safety regulators it has received 109 warranty claims and 205 field reports related to the recall. The minivans were the subject of a federal safety probe that began on June 25, 2013. NHTSA received 22 complaints alleging incidents of unexpected braking in 2007-'08 Odyssey minivans.

Some of the complaints alleged that the vehicle suddenly applies the brakes by itself while the accelerator is being applied, causing the vehicle speed to rapidly drop by as much as 30 miles per hour. Five complaints reported that the repairing dealer found a trouble code indicating a problem with the steering-angle sensor, according to NHTSA. Ten complaints report that the dealer was unable to find a trouble code or to diagnose the problem.

Due to a shortage of parts, the recall will not begin until March 2014. An updated yaw sensor will be installed in the minivans to fix the error in the VSA software.

Honda says it will send owners of the affected Odyssey minivans an interim letter telling them how to prevent unexpected braking. The interim letter will tell owners the steps they can take at vehicle startup to help ensure proper VSA system calibration. A second notification will be sent when the parts become available. Owners can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
