Sorry about telling Canadians to go to Honda OwnerLink.
That is only for Americans not North Americans.

Canadians should Google "Honda Canada Inc." as I just did.

It says if I moved to Canada and brought a Honda, Canada Honda would
do the recall.

I have not lived in Canada for years and all I know is we have better
weather here in California.
