Door Handle Recall
#21
Just got my letter from Honda on the door handle bracket today. 2015 model in 18000 range serial number. I live in West TN. Must be going nation wide. Does not show up on Honda recall site yet for my serial number. Need to make appointment.

Guess I'll be dropping it off this weekend...
To be honest, I'm not surprised. I saw it in the rear doors while cleaning the windows and was just waiting till I got into the dealership again.

just got my notification today, and will combo with the next oil change. Here in Atlanta I don't think rust is probably a top priority, and I would hate to have my 'tight' build (since August 14) compromised (producing rattles) by messing around with the doors, but I guess I'll go along with the recall since this car has a long future in my car port.

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!

My car is also part of the door handle rusting recall along with the CVT pully recall issue a couple of weeks ago. No problems after I left the dealership. They really took extra care of the repairs that I didn't notice anything different about my car. Believe me I have hawk eyes for detail.
Happy camper.

Had mine done yesterday. Found out about it a week ago when having a tire repaired under warranty. A few weeks back I checked my VIN for any recalls and nothing showed up so it must have come up pretty recently.

Just wanted to comment that I too got my letter in the mail. Car sold new in Virginia. The VIN is in the 76xxxx range manufactured in 12/15 purchased in 3/15. Also VIN is not in the honda.com/recall site.

Called and left a voicemail for service manager.
So what do you think my options are? Touch up paint?

Had the recall done today and was unimpressed with my dealership again. When I went to the car, it had grease all over the door handles. They had ran it through the wash but didn't do anything for the grease. I checked the operation and cleanliness of the windows while I was at it. So went back inside and reported my displeasure. They washed it off and it came back clean. They offered a free oil change my trouble. Got home and decided clean the door jambs and what do I find? Scratches on the door, some through the paint and seeing gray underneath. Looks like when prying the panels, they used something metal instead of plastic.

If the scratches are consistent on multiple places and doors they should repaint it.

Got mine today
This car sucks. 4 recalls in one year 11K miles. Honda really screwed up making this thing in Mexico and just plain poor workmanship. I am thinking about getting rid of it before something really falls apart right when the warranty expires.
The other problem I have is when turning on right blinker the camera for land watch sometimes shows the back camera instead of the camera in the mirror. Stays that way until I turn off the car and restart.
Mess.

Both passenger doors have nicks and the front has about a 1.5" straight scratch on it. The nicks can probably be fixed by touch up paint. The 1 inch scratch is going to look amateur with touch up paint

Door Handle Recall.
I'm not going to get mine replaced. I can't stand the thought of taking apart the door panels. Dealer told me I have at least one year to have it done. Door handles seem fine. As the old saying goes, "If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It."

I could not agree more. But after I started noticing the rust, I am starting to change my opinion given that I want to keep the car until it dies on its rust bed.

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.
