Re: honda has cure for 63 mile bug
I just registered my VIN on HONDACARE.
Their website said no safety recalls apply to my car - it DOES have the bug.
Did you get an email informing you of the bug fix?
Can you post the text of it here?

Re: honda has cure for 63 mile bug
I just called another dealer and gave them my VIN.
They verified that I need Product Update# 06-013 for the Tachometer Gauge Control Module.
It is dated 3-24-2006.
Honda does not call it a recall because it is not related to safety.
And it's not just a software update since they have to actually install new parts.
My dealers don't have the parts in yet; they are scheduled to arrive next week.
Actually, I think I'll wait a month so my HCH2 is not their first ginea pig.
But it is nice to know a fix is on the way.

Service manager just called. We can't take the car in until next tuesday.
He said the part is a computer module that goes under the dash.
I'll let you know how it all works out.
