I need some help finding legal issues Honda has dealt with in their long history. Anything major or any issues that have lead to big lawsuits? If anyone has links with information that would be greatly appreciated.|||Most of the "legal" issues that come up are product liability lawsuits, franchise law that affect dealers or violation of emissions laws.
the two big ones for Honda in the U.S. were with non-compliance of the 1996-1997 models with the emissions certification laws. Honda 'agreed' to extending the warranty for emissions defects on all 1996-1997 models for 15 years as a result of their non-compliance.
you can google "Honda class Action Lawsuits" and you'll find there are some current ones for brake wear, hybrid batteries and transmissions. The usual outcome of those suits is that Honda agrees to extend warranties and to reimburse customers who have had problems with whatever part it was that is allegedly defective.
the second major activity was a discrimination suit against dealers and taking bribes to give dealers more cars. this happened in the mid-1990s and led to a host of ethical reforms at American Honda.
