i just got this letter in the mail telling me to bring in my prelude since it was 96 about some emissons and free service. I called to make an appointment and the lady was like "your talking about the recall" what are they recalling???

sucks they are going to keep it for a day but all the services are free needed an oil change

would having an intake, header and muffler void this or what??

 

How are they going to do a recall on anything related to the emisions without noticing an i/h/e unless it is a ecu reflash.

 

yea but these parts were installed by the previous owner my sister and she didnt ge the stock air box back

i dont think its a recall it just said its going to replace emission parts for free like distributor, ignition parts. but im wondering what will happen will they deny my car and have me leave it there for 1 day without them doing anything

 

They shouldn't be able to. I forget the name of the law, but theres a law that says that you can modify your car all you want, and as long as it isn't the modifications that cause the problem (where u would need your warranty used) then nothing is voided. And considering this recall/notice is based on a STOCK 96 prelude emissions, you modifying your cars emissions parts should not void it out. I mean... if a STOCK prelude will have these problems, then they shouldnt rule you out. If they'd did, id bitch at them for being retarded with flawed logic

That almost never works at a delaership...

To the OP; you should be fine....

 

yea thanks guys i guess im just being to worried well see tomorrow thanks for the replys and yea i read that law


Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealership can only void your vehicle's warranty if they can directly prove the specific performance part you installed caused the problem for which you are seeking warranty service. If they cannot prove the performance part is at fault, they cannot legally deny you warranty service.

 

dang i just got home my parents told me honda called them and said oil was leaking on the spark plugs and other stuff

so it went from a free emissons recall and tune up to a $1030

 

That eats horse poop. But what was the emissions thing?

 

said it was a recall so it was all free

then i got the news of oil in the spark plugs what causes that???

 

yea they also said the cv boot is going to cost 400-600

 

bullshit.....a cv boot??

you could get 2 brand new axles for less than 400 bucks, much less one boot

how is it $1030??

oil leaking on the sparkplugs means that 4 cheap seals under the valvecover need replacement, very simple, $20 in seals and a 10mm socket will get it done...

 

yea thats what i was thinking i dont know what to do

 

Well don't let Honda do anything.

 

yea i dont want them to but my parents are letting it go
