TSB For Rear GEOMETRY - Tire Wear by tallpinesman
Feb 25, 2008 (9:54 am)
Reply
Just got a call from Honda today to inform me that my two rear tires will not be covered due to the TBS recently published on the rear geometry of my 07 civic. Seems as though the rear tires get messed up, cupped, etc. and they will only give an adjustment on cars with less the 25K...nevermind that the problem exists and ruins the tires before that magic mile marker is hit,,,,,,I have seen posts that someone over 25k had their tires replaced at no charge. Anyone with a similar problem? Check your rear tires for wear and see the dealer for the "Uneven or Rapid Rear Tire Wear" service bulletin #08-001......service is to replace rear upper control arms, flange bolts, replace the rear tires ( in my case at my cost) and do a four wheel alignment.

Do you know a site to read the actual TSB? I looked at www.nhtsa.dot.gov and the only 8th generation Honda Civic TSB they have for suspension is only for the front suspension.

Here is a link to the site....scroll down to see the scan posted by a member. This is a real mess looking at other posts on the web.....tons of worn tires and people who paid for alignments that did not work on 06 and 07 civics.

Had my 07 tires rotated with 12,000 miles on them. Left the dealer and now my car sounds like I put snow tires on it. It also had a vibration which you can really feel around 20 mph. Called the dealer and they said it sounds like it needs balancing. Took it to my father in laws shop and he said I had "chop" on my front tires. Called the dealer back and told them I heard about the 07's having bad rear control arms. They said they haven't heard anything about that but now think balancing won't help. I have an appt this Friday to see about the control arms. I will bring a copy of the TSB from the previous post: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2225229. Hopefully that will help.
 
This has to be the reason I've always felt a thump in the back when I hit bumps. You can actually feel the rear try to swing out sometimes.

Took the car in today and they are ordering the rear control arms and checking with Honda to see if the 2 tires can be replaced.

FYI, I had my Civic repaired under TSB 08-001. Although they didn't cover my tires the repair was made and what an amazing difference in the handling and ride of the car. You will notice right away the car seems to hug the road, you don't get that loose feeling from the rear of the car.

Had the arms replaced and I can't believe how different the car now feels. I don't get that "hopping" in the rear when I go over bumps.

I just copied the two pages of the TSB from a few posts back (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2225229.) and pasted it into Word and brought it to my dealer.

honda covering tires and control arms by wanderingwolf
Jun 26, 2008 (6:40 am)

I have had the same issue as everyone else - just told yesterday I needed new tires AGAIN -third set on civic hybrid that has only 32,000 miles on it. Called american honda and opened a case - then when I went to pick up my car later, they told me they were replacing the rear control arms and honda was covering the cost of replacing the control arms as well as the cost of 4 new tires and alignment. I am not very happy about Honda dealers for not saying anything to me about an obviously KNOWN issue, but am happy they are covering costs! Considering the safety factor involved here, I am really surprised at Honda for not issuing a recall immediately to correct the problem for all owners. I call this a "Youcall" instead of Recall.
