Common Questions
Do I have to take it to a Honda dealership?

How long before I can get my vehicle scheduled to have the work completed?
Typically, we can schedule a same-day or next-day appointment to have the work completed.

Yes.

Is it possible to reserve a loaner vehicle or get a shuttle back home or to work while my vehicle is in for service?

Is there any cost involved?
No. There are no costs to you to have the recall work completed.
