Known issues on the 1998 Prelude. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two involve aftermarket combination lamps sold for this vehicle without amber side reflectors, which reduces lighting visibility to other drivers and can lead to a crash. Two more cover the ignition switch: on one, electrical contacts can degrade from the high current passing through the switch and worn contacts can cause the engine to stall without warning; on the other, the interlock may fail to function properly, letting the key be removed without shifting to Park so the vehicle can roll if the parking brake isn't set. The fifth covers the front lower control arm ball joints, which can prematurely wear out and, in the worst case, separate, causing the front suspension to collapse with sudden deceleration, loss of power, and reduced steering control. Owners have filed 70 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an ignition switch that won't release the key to a front suspension inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct H22A4 specification for your specific 1998 Prelude.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE INTERLOCK OPERATION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT SH
