Is 2.3 million a lot? Unfortunately it is not a push button fix. Instead, you will need to take a few hours out of your day, maybe get a loaner, maybe take an UBER, maybe just wait for it if you have nothing better to do that day.
Thanks for the CLEAR non-virtue signaling, recall report. My son- in-law drives one of these so I will be touching base given he is the driver in that household.
Thankyou guys again for another Honda recall report. And, again thankfully, my 2014 is not involved. Whew!
Thank you, Russ and Tina! I find the lag between the recall’s announcement and the date letters are sent remarkable, and not in a good way. Thankfully you put this news out and perhaps word-of-mouth will get it to a few people in time to save them from a deadly crash. Oh, and just for fun, I began reading the list of models affected to DW and exhausted her well before the end. Thanks again, Russ and Tina, and merry Christmas! 🙂
