My idea is to write Honda America stating that if they knew about the problem in 1998 on the Accord V6, and the Odyssey shares the same block and EGR system then why didn't they release a letter for the Odyssey? The other thing that bothered me was that the Service Manager told me that the kit they used to upgrade the system was the same used on the Accord.
Do you think I am wasting my time to write Honda?
Wasting your time. Don't bother. It broke, it's out of warranty. See if another dealer will fix it and convince Honda to pay you back like my dealer did. If not, sorry :dunno:
BTW, what you saw was a "TSB", or technical service bulletin. Not a recall. Just a letter to service departments informing them of common problems and how to approach it.
