Work ethic is a very weak excuse. The companies are the ones in charge of making sure products are consistent whether they are built in germany, japan, or north america.

And one day after the JD Power survey, which placed Honda as the top non-luxury brand. This can't be good for PR.

This recall isn't official until 7/9/04. We don't even have the oil jet kits allocated yet. The bulletin even shows as "preliminary" in water marking on the pages. Basically, nothing can be done to the cars that fall under this bulletin yet. Once they release the bulletin that isn't a draft, they'll allocate the parts for the fix. In other words, don't go calling your dealer yet. We aren't permitted to perform the inspection for this bulletin until the draft is lifted and the parts are readily available.

The tear probably has to do with how/where it sits in the dash - probably not the same in the TSX/Euro Accord.

Interesting...did anyone actually get hurt yet? Meanwhile CR-Vs are catching on fire and they're still investigating...
I hope it doesnt affect the TSX.

well i found the NHTSA announcement and what exactly is effected. It's all Accords. Also, note it's from an American counsel, which would lead me to believe they would specify Acura TSX if we were effected. click here

Honda/Acura recall 486,000 cars
Auto maker says keys can be removed from ignitions on some models without shift in 'park' position.
February 2, 2005: 12:23 PM EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) - American Honda Motor Co. said Tuesday it will recall 486,000 Hondas and Acuras to repair ignition switches.
Honda (Research) set the recall to repair ignition switch interlocks, which prevent removal of the ignition key unless the shift lever is placed in the "park" position, the company said in a press release.
Some interlock levers may be improperly dimensioned, the company said, possibly allowing a driver to switch the ignition off and remove the key without putting the shift lever in the "Park" position.
The recall involves automatic transmission equipped vehicles -- manual transmission equipped vehicles aren't affected.
Included in the recall are certain 1999 to 2002 Honda Accord models and all 1997 to 2001 Prelude models as well as some 1999 to 2000 Acura TL sedans.
American Honda, a unit of Japan's Honda Motor Co., will make the repairs free of charge.
Details regarding mailing dates and affected vehicles will be available on the Honda and Acura Web sites Feb. 4, 2005. Top of page

Regardless, good of them to notify and fix.

Then again you could be a girl I know who went to work and locked her keys in the car...while the car was still running and she didnt realize it until 4 hours later when she got off from work..

Honda recalls more than 85,000 minivans in U.S.
Honda recalls more than 85,000 minivans in U.S. - - Reuters / August 03, 2005 - - Source: Automotive News
DETROIT -- Honda Motor Co. Ltd. will recall 85,154 2005 model year Odyssey minivans in the United States to fix potential problems with their frontal air bag systems, federal safety regulators said on Wednesday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the problem stemmed from two external impact sensors that may have been insufficiently sealed during the manufacturing process.
If water enters the sensor corrosion can occur, possibly causing a short circuit, NHTSA said.
It added that front impact sensor failure could cause a delay in or loss of frontal air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The Honda recall is expected to begin on Aug, 29, NHTSA said.
