I just received a letter from Acura USA...
This may be a repost for some of you out there... but I just received a letter from Acura on transy recalls.
Here is what it says...
"This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act."
"Certain operating condidtions can result in heat buildup in the transmission second gear set and my lead to gear tooth chipping. In very rare cases, gear breakage can occur. Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up, and a crash could occur withouth warning."
"Call any authorized Acura dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. For vehicles with less than 15k miles, the dealer will install an oil jet kit to provide additional lubrication to the gears. For vehicles with more than 15k miles, the dealer will inspect the affected gear for heat discoloration, which indicates possible damage. If heat dicoloration exists, the dealer will replace the transmission. If heat discoloration is not found, the dealer will install an oil jet kit. This work will be done free of charge. Please plan to leave your vehicle all day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling the inspection and installing the oil jet kit. If transmission replacement is needed, the work will take more than one day."
If this is a repost, I hope things go well. However, if you have not received this letter, luck is one the way... now we can finally say... Honda is doing something about our problems.....
Good luck!

you guys are so lame, if you dont care about a post, or think it's useless, then don't post a reply! let die if you think it's a dumb post. I swear the only reason you post is to get a higher "post count" so you can be L337

Maybe they're not sending out letters?
I hadn't gotten a letter yet but wanted to get it taken care of. I called my dealer and they were able to verify by my VIN that I was covered under the recall. When I logged into Acura's Owner Link it said I was effected by the recall. Wierd...
