How come i got so much negative feedback when i said the part to fix it wont be available until November in the last page?

I wanted you to be wrong so I could take delivery sooner that mid November

My dealer just updated me; ETA on parts is end of next week.

I saw something that I CANNOT CONFIRM at this point that indicated that Honda/Acura will be providing dealers with special tooling to allow them to complete this repair without dropping the subframe, and that said tool is set to go out in November. If this proves to be true, it is likely a good thing. (less to go wrong)

Looks like its true.

Looks like its true.

This looks like a debacle for most techs.

This looks like a better option than dropping your subframe.

(hopefully) final update here; parts finally arrived at my dealer. Finishing the purchase today!

In canada they told me we will get a letter when parts arrive. I made an appointment for dec for oil change and tires so im hoping parts will drop by that time as well.

wonder if we can drop our cars off and get free rentals for the months it will take to fix??

No rentals unless your dealership will provide it, Honda will not include it since the new fix does not require the front subframe removal.

I believe the new car inventory is getting priority on the repair parts so your experience does not surprise me.

This is true. New is first then the rest.

My dealer's service dept. told me something similar last Friday. They're not making appts. until I receive a letter about the recall and parts not expected to be at the dealer until Dec.

Does anyone have an opinion of the ability of the plastic gear not to have excess wear while the worm gear turns without proper grease penetration? Hopefully, the plastic gear doesn't deteriorate without proper greasing.
