| This is with regards to campaigns 92v028000 and 92v028001. both campaigns call for repairs to damaged part, but don't address how long manufacturer should be accountable for repairing specific part. in this case it is the fuel filler tube and breather tube. honda obviously must have changed manufacturing or materials to prevent further problems, but this recall only covers what appears to be a one time inspection and possible repair if damage noticed. the recalls are from 1992 and 1993 for 1986 and 1987 models. personally i have a 1987 model that now has 255,000 miles. granted, this vehicle is old with high mileage, but a recall such as this should go beyond a one time inspection to address defective parts or manufacturing methods with a permanent resolution. *jb | |||
