“Recall, never received a notice Honda corp, they said so sad to bad cost me almost $600.00 out of pocket to have the defect corrected and almost had an engine fire while driving manafold oil gasket broke in the engine causing the oil to heat up, I was shown the recallnotice by my machanic and called Honda corp. And basically they said they sent it, time expired, and they are not going to assist with any of the funds it cost me to get my car fixed. They should be made accountable for proving notices were sent. My car is in a-1 perfect condition and that should speak for itself. …”
