usually the dealer gives you a loaner car if it takes over an hour.

Since it's a recall, you don't have to be under warranty to get it fixed for free do you?

Yeah i got that letter, but refused to take my car into honda so they can 1) mess up something else, and then CONVENIENTLY offer to fix it for me for an *** raping price, or 2)get the stupid recall job done and find more scratches on my car

well I made an appointment for next week. If they give me crap about my TYC's I'm gonna give it to them, saying I got these cause my OEM bulbs kept blwing out, yada yada yada + TYC is 50 state legal and covered under insurance (most aftermarket companies are not).

Apparently, my '01 wasn't affected........ from what I read on the numbers on my VIN... or maybe I can't read VIN's...

Thanks to the design of the newer Honda dealerships, I could look into the service bays from the Customer waiting area and watch them fix my 2K1 Civic Coupe, serial no. 1013. It took about 45 minutes, and they didn't say anything to me about my aftermarket PIAA headlight bulbs because the Honda wiring and switch was bad from the factory , not my bulbs!

I have the Owner Link set up with the Honda website and it's supposed to tell me if there's a recall. It didn't and today when I took the car in the service rep noticed that there is a recall. So it's getting fixed now. And I never got a notice about it in the mail. I think it's pretty messed up that Hond never properly notified everyone that this concerns. What if the light did go out and someone ended up getting a ticket? Would Honda pay for it? Would the court dismiss the ticket since therte was a recall that Honda never notified us about? I'm gonna go ahead and guess no for both of those questions.
