Default Honda Accord Recall

Joys, I have only had my 2004 Accord Ex 6 sedan for 3 weeks now and today I
received a safety recall notice for the Automatic Transmission Second Gear
Inspection!.

Certain operating conditions can result in heat build up in the transmission
second gear set on certain 2003-2004 Accord V6 sedans and coupes. This
could result in gear tooth chipping or in very rare cases , gear breakage.
Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up and a crash could occur.
Oh Joy!

If you have under 24,000km all they do is perform a simple revision to the
cooler return line. Over 24,000km they inspect the affected gear for heat
discolouration and either install an oil jet kit or replace the
transmission.
Has anyone had any experience with this problems or thoughts or opinion on
the fix?
