I don't see why it matters.... the money doesn't come out of the dealer's pocket for warranty work anyway. Dealers can be crackheads sometimes - especially being that this is a known issue.

I doubt you'll ever see Honda fess up to this one though, if they were ever forced into a recall or got hit with a class-action suit, shyt would hit the fan. Imagine how many V-6 Accords & Odysseys they've sold....
