Just saw this today:

Automotive News / July 05, 2004


TOKYO - Honda Motor Co. plans a recall of some 640,000 vehicles worldwide due to suspected defects with transmission and fuel pump systems, Reuters reported last week.

The recall will cost an estimated $74.8 million.

Of the total, Honda said it will recall about 500,000 Accord, Acura TL and Acura CL models in the United States, while recalling 38,000 units in Canada.

 

hmmm.....how does a recall work especially fore leased vehicles? will the mileage be reset? I know this is quite impossible but i was hoping that they can reset my odometer coz i'm alittle over...just by around 5 miles

 

good. now we can have really solid transmissions. that was the one thing i was worried about...

 

Works for leases the same as purchases. Either wait for a letter or just call the delaership and set up a service.

 

I think this is the same recall that was announced earlier...

 

Is the current transmission recall that is going on?

 

sorry im unfamiliar with how the recall works, do we get our money back or new vehicles?

 

They are recalling a faulty part. They will replace the part, not the vehicle.

 

Auto or Manual?

From Bloomberg...


"... ...June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co. is widening a recall of vehicles in the U.S. and Canada to 1.14 million units, among its largest, covering Accord and Acura cars that have the same transmission fault that triggered a light-truck recall this year.

Japan's third-largest automaker is voluntarily recalling 536,950 vehicles, with V-6 engines and 5-speed automatic transmissions, in addition to those already announced in April. The company is also recalling 79,531 units in Japan to fix faulty transmissions and fuel tanks, starting tomorrow... ..."






IMO, we're talking about the same one...

 

Yeah, sounds like the same recall.

 

only some of the early 04 are included. the later build 04s have internal oil jets and need no repairs. if your car is one of them than you wil recieve a letter.

 

Going in next week for the repair and for my B-service. Oh, well!
