Civic Type R (FN2) National Recall 2007YM

This came to my attention about a week ago and since then I have enquired at a local Honda dealership about the availability of a fix. They acknowledged the nation wide recall on the handbrakes but have stated that it will take at least another month or so before they are supplied with the actual fix. Just thought I'd give a heads up to all those FN2 owners out there who are oblivious to this recall. Cheers.
