Default Should S2KUK speak to Honda about Suspension

I mentioned this a year ago but there was little interest. I still think that S2kuk should speak to Honda about this. I'm sure with the number of members, we should have a chance of influencing them on at least one of the following points...

1) Maintenance, how can we stop this happening
2) If we can't stop it happening is it a design fault that Honda should recall?
3) Avoiding the problem in the future models
4) Honda to cover the cost or signifacntly reduce their parts prices to allow current owners to replace the faulty parts at less than

What is it exactly that goes wrong with the suspension bushes that you are concerned about?

Just like last time, complete apathy until it happens to you, then we'll get some threads started complaining about the cost.

Its definitely a question worth asking, and something that s2kuk could reasonably spend some resources on IMHO.

It would however be unfair if non-members benefited from work paid for by members.

Personally I doubt HUK would budge, as they never seem that interested in cars once they are past the warranty period (under
standable from a business point of view).

This isn't an issue that will effect sales of new cars, because relatively few people will buy their car new and hold it for more than 3 years. (This suspension arm problem was one of the reasons I changed my car before the OEM warranty expired).

Regardless, if you don't ask you don't get.

Maybe, "if you don't ask you don't want"?
