What owners wrote
I have not had this vehicle in 10 years. I have written honda six times and called a dozen times. If someone has this vehicle and gets injured due to non-notification of a recall, and I show how long I have been trying to stop these letters coming to my house so you can find the right person, someone will be seriously liable.
