I got my recall notice a couple of weeks ago and called my local honda shop and they said that they are just ordering parts for now for those who want the work done they said that i would be a few weeks before the stuff was in and they could do the work

I own a repair shop and i have known the quality of them was falling off for years,and people get really mad at you if you say anything about a Honda or a Toyota,but the truth is there trying so hard to out sell American cars there letting a lot of things slip by them,and this is helping the American car company's make a good come back,i myself wouldn't buy a Honda or a Toyota,but i have owned them before,and got rid of them because i had no better luck from them than i did a dodge or a Chevy,now i own a few of each,dodge and Chevy's and will stay true to them ,even if they do give an occasional problem.
