Best thing to do is registering in the owners forum on acura.com. When you enter in your VIN, the recall information is automatically populated in the database. That information can be taken to your dealer as "straight from the horses mouth" information. They cannot refuse service if your car is listed as one that is covered.

Hope this helps.
