This new recall is huge. At this post we at the dealership are getting some information but nothing has been released by Honda yet. When the service bulletin is released I'll try to post a pdf. to interested parties. I called techline friday and was told the recall is 100% of 01-02 MDX's. I know Pilot's and Ody.'s will be affected as well but I don't know the figures on those. He also said that we are going to be inspecting all of the vehicles affected by looking into the transmission fill hole with a camera and noting what color the gearshaft looks like. He stated that if it's silver we just install an oiler tube and release it, if it's a blue or yellow color(indicating it got hot) we replace the transmission. Off the record he stated that it's only been a problem with high mileage vehicles and expects low numbers on complete transmission replacements.
