'04 Accord recall
How many people got the auto transmission recall? Sounds pretty serious -
like the tranny will seize in some cases, causing loss of control. For mine, they're supposed to put in an oil injector - sounds like a somewhat major recall. |

No, it's not major at all. The oil injector kit simply routes an external oil line back to the oil fill hole that normall has a bolt on it. Right underneath that hole is a gear which isn't being cooled properly with oil; now, oil will be squirting on that gear as part of the normal oil circulation. The entire inspection of the gear (to make sure it isn't already heat damaged) and installation of the oil jet kit takes no more than an hour, on a bad day. It is a major recall, though; Honda is spending something like $360 million on this. If the gear inspection (done by camera) shows heat damage, they send the photos back to Honda. Honda determines whether to send the dealer an oil jet kit (the gear is OK) or a transmission (the gear isn't OK). The dealer tech makes a gross judgment, based on photos that Honda supplies; if there's a question, the dealership doesn't make the determination. Honda does. |

Re: '04 Accord recall
What Elmo says is all correct, except one thing. There is no waiting for
parts. Dealers have (or should have) the kits on hand. Honda sent out an initial allocation to each dealer depending on their volume of sales and then sends an additional kit each time a warranty claim is filed for each one a dealer does. "Elmo P.
