MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT MONTH DURING AN OIL CHANGE I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND INSPECTED MY EXHAUST AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL THAT CAUSES THE OXYGEN SENSOR TO BE TRIGGERED. SINCE THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS PART OF THE SAME ASSEMBLY AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE COMPONENT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SIMILAR HONDA VEHICLES OF SIMILAR YEARS AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT HONDA TO GET IT FIXED. AFTER MANY CALLS WITH HONDA, THEY REFUSED STATING THAT MY YEAR AND MODEL WAS EXCLUDED, DESPITE HAVING IDENTICAL ISSUES. *TR
