Default recalls

hey guys....
i had my s2000 for couple of months..and just now i was checking the recall page on s2ki.com. and i found out i have 3 of the problems that are on the recall page..
1. rear vibration during acceleration
2. buzzing from transmission while decelerating
3. grinding while shifting to 2nd gear.

i have a 2000 s2000 and obviously the warranty is already expired...what should i do??? are the recalls free to fix or i have to pay?

should i ask them to check 3 problems at one time or will they deny since my warranty is already expired??

I don't think recalls have anything to do with the warranty.

They aren't recalls. They are TSB's. There is a BIG difference between the two. I doubt you're going to get any Honda dealer to do any optional work on a 6 year old car.
Sorry.

Good luck,
Mike

you can go to the dealership and they'll run your vin # and know if that work has already been done. It's honestly up to the dealership if they'll still do it being that your car is 6 yrs old.

TSB is a technical service bulletin that basically told Honda dealers of potential problems, new methods of fixing something or performing service, new tools for performing service, etc. Annoying TSBs were often fixed as good will service, but you'd have a difficult time getting this now.

Important recalls were taillights, seatbelts & spark plugs. I would assume these have been done, but go to your Honda dealer, give them your VIN, and have them check.
