Warranty extension
It looks like a lot of us suddenly have a longer warranty -- or we will,
when the dust settles. Not a huge issue, but Honda was sued by a few people claiming that the odometers of many Honda & Acura products were overstating the distance driven, thereby reducing the actual mileage available under warranty. It's a class action suit, so anyone who bought or leased a Honda or Acura (new) between April 13, 2002 and November 7, 2006 gets 5% added to the mile limit of their warranty. For most of us -- the 36/36,000 people -- that adds up to a whopping 1,800 extra miles of warranty. No admission of any odometer problems by Honda. Just a little extra warranty. I've never noticed any problems with mine... |

I normally reset the trip odometer at ever fuel fill-up and the navigation computer does so automatically. Nothing which really worries me, but interesting anyway! |
