recall for the IMA
i bring my car to service today at 7500 miles. the service person told me that they got a recall for the IMA, so i got to wait a few more hours. is anybody experienced this? what's wrong with the system? mine is a 06 civic hybrid.

Re: recall for the IMA
I checked OwnerLink yesterday for my car, just as a matter of habit, and did not see any recalls listed. However, they're specific by VIN, so your car might be involved, and my car might not be.
What I'm guessing is that this was due to a TSB or Service Campaign. Honda sent me a letter for the Accord Hybrid I owned, just before I got rid of it - it was listed as a Campaign, and was for a software update to the IMA system. While I don't want to hazard a guess as to your issue, it may be just as a precautionary measure / software optimization, as the Accord's was.
If there *is*an actual recall, you'll be hearing about it in the next couple of days to a week, as other people receive notice, and word spreads / becomes public. Recalls are also released to news media, especially if they involve safety issues.

Re: recall for the IMA
comebackkit - on the invoice you rec'd from the dealer, there'll be an item marked 'auth code'. Can you post the code immediately after that item ? That's the recall / service bulletin number, and we can search on that. Thanks!

Perhaps you were just driving the same way before and after the 62 mile reset points, and that is why the MPG didn't jump around.
