Doh... my bad... looks like EricL posted this in the Tranny Forum a few days ago.

Well, I'll leave it here to run its course and also for those who don't check the Tranny Forum.

They closed the investigation regarding the transmission failures. Basically that means no recall. Not now anyway.

NHTSA has always been a gutless group.

I stopped hitting the acl.com board last summer, just started up again a couple weeks ago.
But I heard they extended the warranty on our tranny anyways, is that true?
I tried to do a search on it but I couldn't find it.

If this is true, this isn't as relevant as it once was?

Yes, every CL & TL 2001+ owner was mailed a letter detailing an extension on the transmission warranty.

Look in the Transmission Forum for details.

I never heard about it. And, now that tranny #3 is being installed, I STILL haven't heard anything from Acura. I found out through y'all.

Yes it was closed.

We don't need the NHTSA. We don't need a recall.

Honda is providing all the help we need.

Except those that are looking to profit from this or need help with their lawsuits or want a new car...well you're SOL.

All the rest of us who want new/fixed trannies, we are getting them...no?

If you have a legitimate lawsuit, you don't need the NHTSA.
