Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? I wanted to know if there is a recall on this defect. My car's seat rocks forward and back, in the same motion as a rocking chair. Is there an actual recall, or is it just a "safety notice"? And if it can get repaired by the dealer without cost... is there a form I have to bring in for that to happen? Thanks |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? Most likely not, although I'm not positive on that (I'm just a pessimist about companies helping out the consumer after 90 days.. lol) There is a DIY, though, that's pretty good for showing how to fix it. Don't recall the link, but I'm sure search would lead you to it or someone else will jump in with a shortcut. Good luck! |

Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? i thought about doing this then said forget it. its not worth it at all. ask gearbox, he knows from experience. the materials to do it are about $50 alone, then you have to take the time to do it. he did all of it and within a few days (if i remember right) it was the exact same rocker chair again. its a really really bad design. |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? just replace the seat with aftermarket. im still looking at some good designs. the oems are trash and there is a safety recall under warranty, but it does not even fix the problem. if you know a welder, have them completely weld together the seat *height* adjustment mechanism. it will not be adjustable anymore, so be sure you adjust the seat to your favorite height before having it welded. i actually like the stock seats so im considering this option. i always leave mine in the lowest position. the rocking back/forth mechanism will not be affected. |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? Damn.... I remember my local honda site used to have a self fix also... but I just didn't think i would need to save the info, cuz it was so easy to find. now its gone. =/ go fig. I think maybe I'll just weld it. I already have a custom paint job, and no one is going to buy it with the color i painted rofl. Thanks a bunch then |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? If you need the tsb (there were a couple) I could try to find it. It has the part #s listed. My 05 had the rocking as well, it was fixed once under warr & slightly returned later. |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? I think there is no need for a recall man.http://imagecabin.info/images/index.php/3e7c716.gif |

Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? I don't see why it'd be different |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? Man I wish it was a recall, I called my local dealer dublin honda and they want $130 for the parts and another $100 for labor. I think I'll just got find DC5 Black Cloth seats. |

Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? No need to get a disk. Here is a link to Honda TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins). http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2189650 Search for "seat" Here is a list of recalls (2001) http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2001/...civic/recalls/ |
Re: Possible recall on rocking driver chair for 01 civic? hilarious that my honda dealership tried to fail my inspection citing that the "seat was not in a study position" . i told them about the TSB and that if it was that much of a safety hazard, i suggest they call honda and get a pre-approval good will repair otherwise give me my sticker. i reminded them that it's been rocking since 52,000 miles and conveniently right after the 36,000 mile warranty ended. man i wish i had my 1997 Civic |
