Not everyone has internet access and I only found this site by 'accident' - not the rear wheel type I should add! Can you blame FMEA for staying anonymous in the face of Honda's lawyers and having to clear things with his employers - assuming it's not a big hoax.
It is not the alleged defect in specification which matters, it is whether it is deemed dangerous enough to be recalled. The UK Clio bonnet catch problem highlighted on BBC Watchdog springs to mind.
Wheels are certainly turning out there!

Thats exactly what we can do - what justification does he have for staying anonymous?? if he needs to check with his employers, he should have done it before slinging the mud about. I'm sure that the extra week or so would have been fine, bearing in mind he's waited 2.5 years to bring this up in the first place.
