car going in for the recall - Honda Prelude Forum

LudeSER13 · 07-29-2002, 10:51 AM

i'm going to get my 97 fix this friday for the ignition switch recall. my car has 65k miles and is this a good time to change the timing belt or do a valve adjustment? i can handle the fluids, just the internal parts, if any. tia.

How is it going in? Did you get a letter?

Well, did you get your 60k service done, or is this it ?

Pretty sure valve adjustments are recommended every 15k.
Your timing belt is good to 105k

i didn't know this.... no, i didn't get a letter. i just visited the american honda site and found about the recall. i'm just going in voluntarily. i'll give them a call and verify. thanx.......

They won't send you a letter untill they have the part in stock... Going befroe hand will prove fruitless. (unless you are currently having a problem that is)

what is wrong with the ignition switch?? i looked on hondas website and i need my vin number im away from my car right now so i dont know it off hand. someone let me know because im not tryin to get fcuked on this

something to do with too much current going thru the switch, which wears is out.....this may cause the car to stall

mjohnson · 07-29-2002, 06:57 PM

mine stalled twice before,sitting at a light, just quit,.... do u think that might be the problem.....?

ive had my SS lude cut off for no reason before. could that be the cause?

LudeSER13 · 07-30-2002, 10:50 PM

i went to honda service center(scott robinson honda, torrance, ca) and talked to one of the reps there. he just asked me if my car is affected and how i got the information. i told him what's up and he said to bring it anytime. so i'll get this fix before problem arise.
