Well I did recieve the recall this past week and Ive been wondering if the dealer will frown upon my Swap (b18b swap) I just did a year ago..I know the recall is on the actual ignition and not the starter.. but do u think they'll void it? any advice from any actual Honda dealership mechanics roaming this board will help quite a lot

 

I wanna know also. They will probably frown on our swaps

 

frown on them only if they arent legit maybe.. honda knows whats going on in the import world and some dealers push it by selling aftermarket parts.. a couple guys i know that work at the local honda dealer all have swaps and are boosting or have n2o in the trunk..

 

Well, I went to the dealer to get a valve adjustment. Everything was going smooth till they looked under the hood. Wouldn't touch my shti with a 10 ft pole. Just learned the adjustment myself Another reason im on
Honda-tech.com

 

Bump because the honda dealers won't comment

 

You can forget about that recall. Yes Honda knows what's going on in the import world. But the recall only applies to the car if it is in it's original condition. I am factory Honda trained technician. Trust me.

 

Where did you get this information? Is it on the service bullitin?

 

If you don't say anything, they will probably never know. Most techs don't open the hood to replace the ignition switch.

 

I got the work done no problem. I have an 98EK hatch with a B16A2. The dealer did not even make a comment. actually, to do the ignition work, it is all in the interior. They have no business even popping the hood when you go there. Aso, a recall is a government mandate. They must do the work by law. If they give you crap, tell them you will report them to the BMV.

 

That's not true. The first step in replaceing an ignition switch is to disconnect the battery so nothing gets melted. Like I said, most techs don't bother.

 

thank your OEM TUNER hehe I'll just raise up my car a bit so they can't bitch about anything... well time to go get it fixed thanks
