Have you tried calling up your dealer I had no troubles getting a booking all they wanted was my vin name address and phone number and it was sorted in 10 minutes or so
Do recalls have an expiry date?
No, they don't. "A consumer who is in possession of a recalled product has rights under contract law to obtain a remedy from the supplier."
So long as Honda is still in business, they have to replace recalled parts.
oh that's great timing.........6 weeks after I replaced mine with an aftermarket hose. :(
I think it can potentially affect the power steering pump. The hose on mine was replaced a number of years ago due to leaking. Then earlier this year, I noticed squeeking noises from the power steering pump. I checked the fluid reservoir and found it almost empty so I took it in to the local dealer. They 'refurbished' the power steering pump and all seemed well. It even went back to the strange fluctuating assistance when steering. Late last week, the car was in at the dealer to investigate, amongst other things, a strange grrrrrrrr sound that happens when accelerating away from stand still. The dealer service staff reported that the noise came from the left front shock absorber that was leaking fluid and then they said, buy the way, your car now needs a new power steering pump. I reminded them that not long ago, I spent money on refurbising the pump at their suggestion but they just said; 'well now you need a new pump'. I think the hose leak can cause problems for the power steering pump.
I read this recall on today's newspaper as well.
I better go check the steering fuild level.
Honda could find you through the RTA if they wanted to.
I received a recall in the mail last year for a 1997 Ford Explorer that I bought at the auctions.
They had to replace the wiring for the cruise control because some cars had caught on fire.
I bought my CL9 as a repairable write-off so I have no books or cards for it, but it is registered and therefore it is in the system, so Honda should come to me.
Interesting. I thought this would be prevented by the Commonwealth Privacy Act. An ordinary citizen used to be able to go a registration authority to search the owner of a car after first having made all sorts of signed oath promises not to kill them. But then I thought that the Queen's Pleasure was taken away with the Commonwealth Privacy Act. Maybe big corporations get special deals to invade privacy; which Honda could probably get by claiming that Honda owners are their customer base.
The article I read in the local newspaper indicated that owners should contact Honda dealers. Presumably if they had not received a courtesy letter.
