Default can my modified civic still get a recall?

So I found out today that my car has an ignition system recall. I have an appointment tomorrow with honda for them to inspect it for the recall. the question is will they still do the recall although my car is kind of modified?

semi built d16 eagle rods/vitara holset on 24psi DD lol

but I havent in any way modified my ignition switch

"but I havent in any way modified my ignition switch"

You said it, argue that point if they say anything. nothing you did could effect the recalled part.

So got a recall and now my VSS is going funky or atleast my Speedometer is. Fix one thing and another thing acts up.

no they can't deny you even with modifications. recall's are safety related and can't be rejected. neither can a car with a salvage title. bulletins can be denied based on modifications but not recalls. Good Luck.
