“The convertible top on my Honda S2000 has ripped for the second time. The first time the top was replaced under warranty. Under independent examination the top was found to have an engineering defect where the fabric top rubs against a sharp metal component of the top frame causing a tear.”
NHTSA complaint #10340502, filed 2010-06, 21,000 miles“A slit, about 1 long, appeared in the convertible top rear quarterpanel. Yesterday, I noticed on the other side of the car, in the exact same spot, an indentation, about to become another slit. Honda dealer and customer complaint both notified. They have nothing on file about this issue and offered no solutions. There obviously is an issue with the retraction mechanism design or function. Wear on a retracted convertible top , to the point of penetration, is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #10525827, filed 2013-07, 54,000 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Honda S2000. The contact stated that the metal link on the convertible top was placed directly over his skull. In the event of a crash, his head would strike the metal link and cause injuries. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to check if the issue was due to a manufacturer defect. The contact feels that this is a safety hazard and wants the manufacturer to provide a hard top. The current and failure mileages were 16,000. The convertible top has a protruding metal joint and other unshielded metal pieces. Updated 07/21/09.”
