Great news in my opinion. I've long been an opponent of "geographical recalls". It apparently stems from a 2007 crash in a Ford Mustang in North Carolina. North Carolina is not designated in most of these recalls as a "high humidity" state. Additionally, Honda later added California to its list of states included in the recall due to a crash there.

I'm going to call our local Acura dealer and have the one in our MDX replaced. In my opinion, southern North Carolina, where we live, is as humid as most of the states included in the original recall, including South Carolina.
