There is no way in hell that you should get charged for it. Its just like anything else under warranty. Those that are told that they have to pay for this reflash should tell their dealer to go to hell. All dealers have access to IN (Honda Interactive) and can see this same information.
The VIN range is 2HGFG2...6H700001 - 2HGFG2...6H707606.
BACKGROUND INFO: Some customers may notice the engine RPM does not immediately drop when shifting gears and/or the vehicle surges when driving in 1st gear.
Basically the last 8 of the VIN are all that matters. My car doesnt fall in this range so thats why its not a problem for me. The way that its written is that this will IMPROVE but not eliminate the characteristics in the background informaion.
The bulletin # is 06-052. The operation code is 125517 and it should take about 1/2 an hour to an hour total. You dont need to leave your car there overnight or anything. Its not brain surgery.
So if you're in that affected range, make an appointment to your dealer and get it done.
That is all. :SHOCKED:
I see caveman74 beat me to it but its alot easier to have it right here as the first post instead of page 3,094 and the 6th post on the page.
