anyone hear anything about a recall involving 94 accords?

 

recall 00-073 involving a balancer shaft oil seal retainer. Check with your local dealer and make an appointment.

 

I should check on that...

 

where is this located?
im asking cause once i broke my camshaft ... head got scratched and everything got fixed so maybe my mechanic changed it???

 

Nowhere near the cam. Its on the Bottom end.

 

Man, get this taken care of. I bought a 96 Accord EX about a year ago, and that seal blew out on me 2 months later. I instantly lost most of my oil while I was on the freeway.

I had no idea about the recall. When it was being fixed (not by a dealer) I had them replace the timing belt and water pump, so it ran me ~$600. All that could have been prevented by a little clip that fits over the seal. I think the guy that did the work told me the clip was $8.

 

$3.

 

GOD I ******* LOVE YOU GUYS. i just called my local dealer and they are going to do the repair for me next wednesday.

thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!!

 

cool. i wish customers at work acted like this more often.

 

you work at a honda dealer too? i hate putting up with ******* customers.

 

didn't this recall happen a few years ago???

 

Well, thank you a lot. It hasn't been done, apparently because it was still in an impound lot witing to be auctioned to me when it was recalled. I'll just replace the engine now, too lazy to change timing belt.

 

Year 2000. Thus the 00 in the 00-0173 recall number.

Yes i work as a service advisor at honda.

 

is that recall for just the 94 honda accord or the 94-97

 

94-97.

 

and it also applies for the the older oddesseys and cl 2.2 that had the f22 engines.

and preludes.

 

Accord94DX, you might be able to help me here. I bought my car shortly after the recall happened, and I was never notified. I bought it off of a salesman at a Honda dealership. I've known the guy for years and it was his car. As far as I know he wasn't aware of the recall either, and he always had the car serviced there at the dealership.

Anyway, ever since the gasket blew out, my engine now burns oil. It's not much, but enough to **** me off. Since I was never notified about the recall, is there any action I can take? After I found out about the recall, I spoke to someone at Honda (an 800 number listed on the Honda owner's web site). She told me to fax in my receipt and I would get partially reimbursed for the repairs. I was hoping I could do better than that.

Thanks!

 

Im sorry but the balancer shaft oil seal recall would not apply in your case. The only way you could file a claim for reimbursement is if this seal actually backed out and drained the engine of oil. There is no headgasket recall or anything like that. If you can get a partial reimbursement, take it. You are lucky.

 

Anyone which a 97 Accord check Honda Owner's Link to see if it shows up there? The only recalls I see reported are the 1995-97 ACCORD A/C WIRE RECALL (fixed) and the IGNITION SWITCH RECALL which my car wasn't included in.

 

It was the balancer shaft seal. Sorry, my fault in using the wrong term.

 

How do you break a camshaft? This I have never heard of.

 

i do...i dont have this recall either...i have the ignition switch recall...but it says it doesnt include my car...but nothing about this recall we are talkin about...this is odd.
