I know people are divided about leaving the car in gear but again how many people actually do this? I dont know anyone that does it (this forum excluded) and in 24 years of owning a car I have never done it until now as it has never been an issue.

I actually do leave my car in gear, when parked and yes it is good practice. I can't think of anyone I know who turns their wheels into the kerb, and personally I wouldn't dream of doing it and damaging my wheels, but that's just me, I CAN see the logic in it.
The point is we shouldn't have to do this, we are being told to do it because of a fault with an essential part of the car. The fact that a certain persons hasn't faulted doesn't mean it won't. Honda have obviously identified a design or manufacturing fault and feel it is important to address it, if not immediately rectify it. I'm sure it's not a decision they have taken lightly. It is potentially a very serious fault. I am not lecturing you because I know you have the same opinion as me, but I have tried telling this to Mr Honda this afternoon and it's like banging my head against a brick wall. You know who I mean!!!
