"I am awaiting a response from Honda UK regarding advice on applying the modified handbrake when fitted. I have owned Hondas now for over thirty years. This Civic is the first I have had with an issue with the parking brake. I activated the parking brake on all my previous Hondas while depressing the button and there was no problem whatsoever." - thats because there wasnt an issue with the previous models handbrake system.
Anyway, this thread seems to be repeating itself endlessly (sp?) !! so i'll try one last time to break it down as plainly as I can.
The fault has been identified as a potential issue when the handbrake is applied using the button - the ratchet may not lock. Short term fix, dont use the button when applying, Long term fix, contact your dealer, dont wait for the letter and get the mod done at your convenience, at which point following the wording of the service bulletin, "Countermeasure The handbrake latching mechanism has been modified to eliminate any risk of partial engagement." which I take to mean, apply it however you wish and it will work.
If you feel that more explicit wording is required then you are following the only course you can by contacting Honda UK.
