Default Odometer?

Ok so I'm reading today's USAToday and there is an article about an issue with honda/acura odometers giving a higher mileage than actually driven. Starting with 07 Honda said it has "tightened" their odometers to relfect a 0 percent center. This is opposed to what Honda says as their odometers being accurate within 3.75%. The vehicles effected with the issue are hondas and acuras bought from April 13,2002 to November 7,2006. I am assuming this is all models also. Not a big deal until you talk about leasing and warranty issues, that's why a class action law suit was filed. Honda is now extending warranty mileage by 5% and will pay for overage miles on leasing. Check out the article! Just giving a heads up.

Old news. Most Honda owners were informed via mail a few weeks ago.
