Default Re: any recent recalls on Honda cars

the new model CRV's has one recall and one product update, a shifter cable
update and a throttle cable recall. The 2003 Accords have two also. One is
a air intake system update and the other is a trans update where a
"no-reverse" condition can apparently occur if you should happen to be
caught in snow and you try to rock the vehicle free by using forward and
reverse concurrently over and over again.
The Emissions warranty that the Shardey Inc fella was referring to is this:
on the 1995 v6 accord and all 1996 and 1997 Honda models they have an
extended warranty on the emissions system ( a deal Honda made with the
Federal Gov rather than recalling all those vehicles). Apparently the on
board diagnosis (OBD II) emission systems of those years only did not meet
federal regulations at that time. So for instance, any time the "check
engine" light comes on and stays active on these models , you have a 99.5%
chance that it will be covered under that extended warranty which is 14
years 150,000 miles whichever occurs first. Items like oxygen sensors, cat
converters, coil paks, ecu, pcm and so on. In addition Honda will perform
certain free checks on the emission system at certain mileges and also
replace the distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs along with an oil change
absolutely free. This warranty travels with the vehicle no matter who owns
it at the time.
If you have moved since you purchased your Honda or are a new owner of a
used Honda contact your local Honda dealer and ask for the number for
American Honda Motors, call them and have them update your info and or let
them know you are the new owner so that you can receive any recall info and
or product updates
