Honda/Acura phone number mistake...

Hope this is not a repost...

"The Japanese automaker accidentally dropped the "888" prefix for "800" on a vehicle safety telephone number published in the back of 1.2 million manuals in 2006 model year Honda and Acura vehicles and Honda motorcycles. Normally, it'd just be a dead or disconnected number...but when you dial the 800 prefixed number (1-800-327-4236), you're urged to call another 800 number (1-800-918-TALK) for ''just 99 cents per minute.'' Honda'll be sending out postcards with the right number to all affected customers."

i forgot to mention that, supposedly the number they're directing you to (1-800-918-TALK) is a sex line...
