That's still a job that wouldn't have to be done if Honda wasn't too cheap to equip the 3.5 with chain instead of a belt...

My problem with the 3.5 is the stupid timing belt...it should have a chain...and it's a bi*** to change...

That's because many auto makers are trying to make a 1.5 liter engine do the job of a V-8...

From everything I've read so far, there is probably a much higher percentage of vehicles that won't have a problem than ones that do...

I just got off the phone with the Honda service manager. He said the recall notices will go out in the mail next month, and they DO NOT have the parts for this recall. He said he was told by Honda they should get the parts sometime in July, but they will receiver further updates. Sounds like I...
