Since this is definitely the topic at hand, I figured I'd throw out this poll for those that have had the recall done. - I'm purposely omitting the option of Not done yet. Really interested only in experiences and stats from those who have had the recall done. (plus I don't think you can change your answer once you've voted so.... Vote AFTER you've had it done)

Add some info in the comments about the following:

• How long the recall took
• Any issues with the recall
• Any other notes/comments you wish to disclose

Please keep the discussion/complaints to the other thread. linked below:

• The Official/Unofficial/Original LMS Recall Thread (otherwise known as the "I love/hate my dealer, I've lost all faith in honda/doesn't bother me much, There could be nothing worse/this is no big deal" thread)
• FitFreak GE8 TSB/Recall Thread

Our 2009 was in the Recall range
Took under 4 hours (not sure actually how long)
Only issue was the wiper was off by 2 notches when replaced - fixed a few days later when I dropped by.

nope still have not received any information about the recall.

 

2010 Model - Recall Completed.

Took the morning to do. Everything seems fine so far. My dealer seemed well prepared and I had a good experience overall. Got my letter from Honda a few days after my recall was done so beat them to the punch.

Edit: just checked the owner's link and it's been updated to show the car was recalled and repaired.

Description
2009-10 Fit Lost Motion Spring
Type Safety Recall Campaign
Status Fixed

 

2009 Recall complete. Dropped off the car Friday morning and they finished 4-5hrs later. Longest part of the recall is probably the time to let the engine/oil to cool so they can work on it. Everything seems great.

My wiper was a little off too. Adjusted it myself when I got home. That took a miniute max. Just loosen the 14mm nut, pop the wiper to the up position, wiggle to your desired angle, tighten bolt.

 

not a problem with the recall done in 1/2 a day at the dealership

09 fix lx 5sp

 

I just dropped off my Fit this morning. The service rep said that it may take a few days...I'm suspecting that this is the first LMS that they're doing on Fits.

 

Kudos to SB for the poll question. No recall and that free valve adjustment for my FIT, dang.

 

I'd vote 2x for

2009-10 Model - Not recalled.

if I could. Neither my Fit (looks like it was produced much later than the recalled VINs) or my wife's Fit (produced in Suzuka plant) were affected.

 

Almost the same deal...my Fit's VIN well after the range, wifes BBP did not escape...dropping it off net week to have recall performed...will report back on how that went for her car

 

i think the 3rd option is misleading.. because on my receipt it says "Recall completed" but iam pretty sure they didn't change out those springs, it was done just way too fast.

well.. maybe it was done on my car.. because it took them 2 hours.. but who knows..

the damage done, was just 1 ziplock ripped off and not replaced, as well as the 2 clips for the cowl was ripped off and not replaced.

 

• How long the recall took- 1 1/2 hrs
• Any issues with the recall- none

I bought my car, and have it serviced, at Rick Roush Honda in Medina OH. They had the car a day, apparently let it cool because they finished it in the afternoon. The repair order gave a flat rate of 1.6 hours, they "disassembled engine, replaced springs, adjusted valves and reassembled engine". Car runs just as it did, and sounds just as it did, before the repair. I got the recall letter a couple days after Roush Honda called me. All in all, a good experience so far.

 

my 2009 sport was in the recall. however, my motor gave out on me in august, and they replaced my motor, with a 2010 motor. so, my VIN was on the recall, they opened my car up, and my motor was fine. so my status is........fixed? lol

 

Time took: 3 days!

Afterwards the car runs really well and the ticking noise I used to hear (58k miles, 09 sprt) is minimal.

Only issue besides the time it took, was my cowl was not properly placed and missing 1 end clip.

 

Got my 09 Fit done yesterday. Took them approx 4.5 hrs. No issues with the recall. Lindsey Honda in Columbus, OH did excellent work.

 

I count it ironic that my last previous Honda was a 76 Civic CVCC 5 speed. It had motor issues, namely bad head bolts that eventually caused engine failure. So, 34 years later, my Fit has bad parts in the motor. I'm feeling snakebit!

 

Had our fit dropped off mon. afternoon and got it back tue. afternoon, all in all the car ran and sounds the way it did before. Car currently is at 20k miles

 

where's the option where recalled, but not yet gone in to fix?

cuz that's where i'm at.

 

As listed in the 1st post (the description) ; "Purposely omitted" the not done yet. B/C you can't change your answer AFTER you've actually done it and that's the important info.
