Honda CRV

Honda CRV Fire Hazard. More than two dozen cases of late-model Honda CRV sport utility vehicles have burst into flames, shortly after their first oil changes. No injuries have been reported and many of the vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 model years were destroyed.

A federal highway agency concluded this month the incidents are the fault of dealerships and mechanics. The agency said the problem stems from improperly installed oil filters that most likely leaked oil onto the vehicles’ hot exhaust systems.

When the oil filter is removed, part of the seal may stick to the engine

When the oil filter is removed, part of the seal may stick to the engine. If that seal isn’t removed before the new filter is put in there is a risk of oil leakage which could cause a fire.

Honda claims a design flaw is not to blame, but it’s still studying the cause of the fires. The company said it’s not planning a recall at this time, but it may rewrite instructions on how to replace the filters.

This is my first experience working with this firm. My primary contact has been Sabrina Hogan who is helping with my case. Sabrina is an excellent example of what great service should be. Whenever I've had questions, she responds to me quickly. And, although I know she must be extremely busy, she takes time to listen to me. If she's unable to answer my questions during our call, she gets back with me quickly. She's also great at keeping me informed. I also want to express my appreciation for Paul Segal, who assisted me when Sabrina wasn't available. He contacted me right away and was also very helpful! Parker Waichman LLP is fortunate to have Sabrina and Paul on their team!

Benita Rollis handled my claim from inception to competition in a professional practical manor. She responded promptly with complete information. She is a credit to Parker Waichman and should be recognized for her outstanding legal ability. I would recommend Parker Waichman for any type of legal action especially Ms. Benita Rollis.

Although this process has been long, I have been very fortunate to have Christina Morace assigned to my claim. From the beginning, she has been able to answer all of my questions and lead me along through the process of submitting documents. She answers all questions whether by phone or email in a timely manner. Tina is extremely professional and has a very personal manner in dealing with the complicated aspects of the WTC Victims Compensation Fund claim. I feel totally comfortable with her and highly recommend her to any other claimants who may be going through this process.
