Is this old? I couldn't really tell from the text and it's the first time I see this. If this was before 2001 then I should be ok....just wanna know. I got it from the Progressive insurance website:

Recall notices for 1996, Honda Prelude
Year : 1996
Vehicle Make : HONDA
Vehicle Model : PRELUDE

NHTSA Campaign Number : 99V069000
Summary :
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH BALL JOINTS THAT CAN PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AND, IN THE WORSE CASE, THE BALL JOINT WOULD SEPARATE CAUSING THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE.
Possible Consequences :
THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN VEHICLE DECELERATION AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. ALSO STEERING CONTROLLABILITY WOULD BE REDUCED.
Corrective Action :
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS.

Would this still even be covered.....being that the car is lowered?

i have no clue but my guess would be yes. it's definately a seperate component. call up a dealer that you don't intend on going to and ask them.
