Recall??

If it's a truerecall, it won't cost you anything. Did you get a recall letter or just read ABOUT it somewhere? You can probably call ANY dealer, give em your VIN, & they'll tell you whether the recall applies toyour car.

Here's what to do:
On vehicles with 15,000 miles or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to the second gear. on vehicles with more than 15,000 miles, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. if discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced if discoloration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line. the recall began on april 21, 2004, for pilot, odyssey, and mdx owners. owners of the accord vehicles will start receiving letters on june 28, 2004, and on june 29, 2004, for owners of the tl and cl vehicles. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238.

Got it Honda S/B 04-037
Safety Recall: Accord V-6 AutomaticTransmissions 2nd Gear Inspection.
4 Cyl is not being recalled.
But there is a freebie for you in S/B 03-040
Evap Canister Drain Joint Recall.
You can ask the dealer to run a VIN status inquiry, and see if your car has the update or not. It is a Freebie

I'm pretty sure you have the metal plate riveted in the driver's side dash, take a peek through your windshield. You should really put your year/model/trim/engine/tranny in your signature.

And you have a 4 cyl. so that recall doesn't apply to you.
