My neighbor has a '06 Si and he told me that he herd about a recall on the ECU that says the ECU is putting up more mileage then it should be. I've looked online but I can't find anything so I thought I'd see if anyone else herd this.

No recall on the ECU.
They will just extend your warranty as the mileage count is like .8% off

It's not a recall.

It's a 5% mileage warranty extension resulting from a settlement.

http://www.hondaodometerclassaction.com

You are a Settlement Class Member if, between April 13, 2002 and November 7, 2006, you purchased or leased in the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) a model year 2002 through 2006 Honda or Acura automobile, or a model year 2007 Honda Fit.

The Proposed Settlement provides a number of benefits for Settlement Class Members:

If you purchased a vehicle during the Class period you will receive a Warranty Extension. Honda will extend the mileage-based coverage periods of all Warranties or Honda Care or Acura Care Service Contracts by 5%. For example, a 3 year/36,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty will be extended to 3 years/37,800 miles.

If you already paid for a repair that would have been covered by a Warranty or a Honda Care or Acura Care Service Contracts as extended in the Settlement, you can file a claim for reimbursement. A claim form that describes the materials to be submitted is available on this website, www.odosettlementinfo.com or by visiting Class Counsel’s website at www.HondaOdometerClassAction.com.

If you leased a new Class Vehicle during the Class period, Honda will increase by 5% the mileage allowances for your lease. For example, if a Settlement Class Member has a three-year lease for a Class Vehicle that permits up to 36,000 miles of driving without any charge for excess mileage, the allowed mileage will be increased to 37,800. This extension will be applied automatically for all active leases obtained through American Honda Finance Company. If you leased from a company other than American Honda Finance Company, you may apply for reimbursement for any excess mileage charges you pay at your lease’s termination.

If you already paid for excess miles, and are entitled to a refund under the Proposed Settlement, you will receive an automatic refund if you leased through American Honda Finance Company, so long as American Honda Finance has your current mailing address. If you leased through any other leasing company, you can file a claim for reimbursement if you pay excess mileage charges at your lease’s termination. A claim form that describes the materials to be submitted is available on the website, www.odosettlementinfo.com or by visiting Class Counsel’s website at www.HondaOdometerClassAction.com.
