Amazing, great post, thanks.

I will be getting the TSB done at the dealership that has done all my service for years. Because of price I bought My Spa from a bigger dealer that sells at great prices but their customer service is beyond lousy.

I have a bet with some of the s2ki people in my area on just how long it will be before the dealer where I bought my car actually contacts me. I suspect by the time they do, I will already have had the "kit" installed on my car from my service dealership. It is really sad how you just have to keep pushing some dealers to get things done!

You could print that,take it to service writer,and he could still tell ya "we don't anything about it"How does Honda plan on fixing this problem to keep plugs from coming loose?

I don't see how 13,000 recalls in Japan come to a total of 1.XX million. How much do those plugs cost?

No wonder service writers don't want to talk about this...it's a five friggen hour free repair.

Whats the best way to follow up after the TSB to be sure they DID in fact do it?
This is for those not so technically inclined.

I guess you could ask to keep or see the old spark plugs. Tell them you want to check for fouling or something similar.
