Known issues on the 2001 Prelude. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover aftermarket replacement combination lamps sold for this vehicle: units without amber side reflectors fail federal lighting standards and can leave the car poorly illuminated to other drivers, raising the risk of a crash. The third covers the ignition switch interlock, which may not force the transmission into Park before the key can be removed, allowing the vehicle to roll away and crash if the parking brake is not engaged. Owners have filed 21 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are inspecting the ignition interlock, swapping out lighting components, or running a routine service on the H22A4, it keeps you on the correct OEM procedure and specification for your specific 2001 Prelude.
