I can assure you all that my post is not fake and this defect on a safety critical classified part is known to Honda since May 2006, a fact that will be proved when the first owner of an effected vehicle receives confirmation of this fact through their dealer/Honda or when the media run the story in the very near future and present the vast documentary evidence.
In regards to my motives to post this information, I am in no way "Anti Honda" (far from it) and as stated in my original post, this information has been posted on Civinfo only to ensure that the safety of you, your passengers and that of other road user's is not being put a risk by the actions of Honda and VOSA, after I have been fobbed off by both Honda's lawyers and VOSA for months (hence the deadline I set them both last week).
In response to the post about the personal information I posted being so general, there are 2 reasons:
a) I work for a major vehicle OEM in a senior engineering role and will be meeting with my senior executives next week to ensure that they are OK with their name being run in the media coverage (which I'm sure they will).
b) The evidence as has been passed to the media could possibly result in criminal prosecutions against individuals due to their actions if proved true (a fact agreed by the Head of Vehicle Safety at VOSA) therefore this information is very sensitive which is why certain specifics were not contained in my post.
Hope the above has helped clear things up and please let me know how you get on if your vehicle is effected.
