Went ot my dealer today to have the passenger wing mirror replaced under warrantee. Had a long chat with the Service Manager.
They have had 3 brake simulator replacements so far. The earliest the customer paid for, later on Honda contributed half, the most recent one was done at no cost. He did not know if the other customers got money back, that was between them and Honda central now.
He was adamant in his opinion it will be a recall since a brake issue thus safety. However he was scathing about the DVSA which needs to be gone through for the recall system saying they were far too slow and very inefficient. So it remains to be seen if it is worth taking out the warrantee extensions after 3 years or if the replacement will be a normal free recall withour problem.
As an aside he said they were still changing takata airbags occasionally from 20 year old multiple owner cars as they become known to them.
