They listed a PRIVATE number!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Sure hope it's not mine!! :paranoid:

What, no bulletin for a type-O????


All Honda Sales, Service & Parts Managers



FROM: American Honda Service Division



RE: Non-Compliance Campaign Announcement





Today, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., announced to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) its intention to add a 3x5 postcard to some 2006 and 2007 model year Ownerfs Manuals that correctly identifies NHTSAfs new telephone number.



Basic Problem: Some 2006 and 2007 model year Ownerfs Manuals incorrectly list a private telephone number rather than NHTSAfs 1-888-327-4236 number. The wrong telephone number creates a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 577.5(g)(1)(vii).

Affected VINs: Affected VIN list is currently under process. American Honda will send every Honda Dealership a list of affected vehicles and 3x5 postcards in 2-3 weeks. The dealership will be entirely responsible for all legal consequences if any affected vehicle is sold or leased to a retail customer without the 3x5 correction postcard being inserted in the Ownerfs Manual.



Campaign Parts: Parts are not needed for this correction.



Repair Strategy: The repair is to insert a 3x5 correction postcard in the Ownerfs Manual prior to sale. A service bulletin will NOT be issued.



Customer Notification: Approximately 1.2 million vehicles are affected by this Non-Compliance Campaign. Notification and postcard will be mailed to all known owners in 2-3 weeks.



Thank you.

hmm, time to dig through the mail....

It is funny but considering the ever-increasing complexity of car manufacturing, small slip-ups are a big possibility, IMHO :)

BTW, imagine the fate of the clerk, who made that mistake, and supervisors/editors who failed to catch it :thumbsup: :banana: Prolly out there, looking for a new job as we speak :nuts:

Possibly! They haven't fired people when the other companies would...then fired some at an odd time..... :dunno: But I don't know much about the corperate end of it... just from the point of an over educated grease monkey.... :lmao:

When we've been places no one has ever guessed what he does.... :dunno: It love to tell them & watch their faces! Last year on the first cruise when at a VIP party with the captain & head crew people I couldn't wait to tell this really snobby couple!! Their noses were in the air so far I feared they might get them bloodied! :paranoid: The look was a Kodak moment....

Just imagine chatting with people about quantum physics, then find out the person you're talking to is a lowly technician!!! :lmao:
