Door Handle Recall
#41
I also got the notice over the weekend and the website still doesn't reflect it.
Sad to see that damage and also hear from others about grease, scratches and what not.
Does anyone have the Honda TSB on this one? I would like to see what is involved and what is going to potentially get messed with. From what I've seen on this forum, this doesn't look like a simple job for their typical amateur mechanics.

New Recall - Honda HR-V Forum
Not finding the actual service bulletin contents, but you probably have to login to their system (or be Honda Pro Jason HRV owner) to get the exclusive details.....
EDIT: found this site which has some, but not all: http://www.hondaproblems.com/tsbs/Fit/2015/

Got a call from the service manager that I had reported the grease stains to. He said bring it in and we'll take care of it. So I guess I get to waste another of my days off sitting at the dealership... I'm hoping they fix properly.

Also received recall letter today. I already emailed my Daughter in Knoxville, and told her that on her next trip home, we would visit the dealer and deal with this. Looking forward to free hotdogs and popcorn for lunch! For some reason, Crest Honda here in Nashville has the best hotdogs.
Thanks Honda for giving me an excuse to have my Daughter return home for a visit!

Well that ended my Honda's recall virginity.
Oh, and ditto on the Crest hotdogs.

Whats odd is there are no listed recalls on the brackets on honda.com when I lookup my VIN, yet I got a letter in the mail.
Just called to make my appointment for my dealer. They need to get the parts in. They tell me its going to take 3-4 hours to do. Seriously, does anyone know exactly which part they need to replace?? I've taken these doors apart so much its not even funny (audio system upgrade) hell I could likely install the parts faster than they can, doubtful they would let me help them install it.
I'm assuming its these brackets?? I have an EX 6MT 2015, but can't imagine its any different for the USDM trim levels.
Illustration# 4 and 15 for the front doors Part# are 72130-T5A-000 and 72170-T5A-000
Rear doors are illustration#12 and 18. Part#72646-T5A-000 and 72686-T5A-000
Front Doors
Rear Doors:
Removing the inner door skin is cake, two screws and a bunch of plastic clips you can release with a tool from harbor freight. Peel back the weather seal being held in by black goop, unscrew the bracket, reinstall, boom, done, install in reverse, move on to the next door.

I also got the letter with nothing posted on the website. However, I note that the website says there are no "safety" recalls so maybe they don't view the door handle issue as a safety issue? Taking my car into the dealer next week. Only took about 24 hours for them to get the parts.

Grease on Windows as well
Lol same for me. I was like what's this dirt on my driver side window awwww dam it's grease. Then I thought, well at least I know they worked on it and didn't just say they did it.

May be cake to you, O Master Guitarist/Mechanic/Audio Engineer, but to 10 Thumbs Finnell, a puzzle on par with Einstein's General Theory. But in the interest of full disclosure, where did you get the diagrams. I see the HONDA watermarks. Official on line repair manual? I have one for the Suzuki SX4, bit damned if I'll pay Honda's price to satisfy my idle curiosity.

The brackets are not diffuclt, its simply labor intensive. my guess that its not a saftey recall, but looking at my brackets today on all 4 doors I do see surface rust, so they will need to be changed sooner rather than later. I want to smack the material planner who thought non galvanized steel would be a good idea to use in a high moisture environment. Idiots.

Door Handle Replacement.
I called last week to get an early apointment for recall. It is a long drive from the next county to the Honda dealership. I set up for Monday morning at 7:00 AM. I got up a 5:30 and headed in. I was first in line at 6:45 at the service door before they opened them. They took my car at 7:00 AM. I went to the wainting room and waited for 5 hours until they came to get me to tell me it was complete. I got the paper work but before I got out they told me they broke off a door panel piece doing the work. They decided they would have to order a replacement and I would have to come back in for the install. I saw lots of cars come in get fixed and go before mine was finished. I looks like they do the paying customers first and warrenty when they get some free time. What good is an appointment? Another trip in in the future for me. Will see how it comes out. Here is a picture of the rear door missing the part. Watch out they did not crack these on your car and leave them in place. Mine was completely broken off.

This is why I'm not replacing my door handles. I worry about trim pieces and clips getting broken. Then I have to wait until the broken pieces are ordered.

Off topic but what was the mileage for the CVT fluid change? I thought you were around 36k in another thread. Did the MM say it needed change at that mileage? What did the dealer charge? Just trying to get an idea on what to expect. Thanks

Dealer cost for the change was $130.

My dealership wont give me the parts to do the work myself. Bummer.
Being that its not a safety recall, I don't see why I couldn't order the galvanized parts from Bernardi parts and install myself at my leisure.

That's exactly what I did this morning. I'm much more confident that working at my leisure in my warm, well-lighted garage, the outcome will be more satisfactory than sitting for half a day at the dealer while their "factory-trained" technician tugs at the panels. If I make any mistakes, I don't have far to go to find the guilty party . . .

If thats the case that's exactly what I'm going to do too. I dont have a garage, but I can stand to wait till the spring. I actually like my dealer they have been good to me, but this job I'd rather do myself. I'll throw darts at Honda's QC managers picture while sipping on a home brew Imperial Stout after I'm done.
