Did you service it as per schedule?

It was serviced by my garage this year, then nothing because of covid before that

You didn't have it serviced before this year, for how long?

It was serviced by honda right up to when covid started, I bought the car in 2022 and it was of the road due to cosmetic damage is was not involved in a crash, had the car resprayed and all done up professionally,
(No engine damage) I had it serviced by my garage yearly this year ,then 4 weeks ago took it to honda due to this wet belt issue, I took it to them on a Monday & they only then tool me they had just received a bulletin the Friday before regarding the issues they were have with the 1lt engines, however they have known about this for some time ( my car is an auto ) they say the belt is consumable & that I should have had it changed, Why !! 55.000 miles, so they say either I pay for repair or have to wright the car off . I know there are things I should have done however I think this wrong. Thanks for getting back to me.

Just going back over my paper work, I bought the car in November 22 and was back on the road in February 23 it then went to honda & was there for approximately 6wks ,nothing was mentioned about any of the issues they were having with the 1lt ,! My warranty ran out in May 23 so had it have been mentioned it would have been within the time frame

I don't think the extent of the issue was known then

What does your VIN check show on recall page ?

Honda have know about these issues,
My vin is on the list however they say I'm out of tim because my warranty ran out in May

Hmmm, your car is on a recall list but they won't touch it as out of warranty. I think that's an ombudsman or citizens advice check as I thought a recall was nothing to do with warranty

Does anyone know how long honda have known about these issues?

how can they just expect costomers to right off there cars when is is they fault thay have known about this issue for some time , and mine is an auto which they say is not covered only manual,
there is something clearly wrong here , anything legal we can do as a group possibily , we as costomrs are thousands of pounds out of pocket !!!!!! any help

I've got 1L 2017 warranty ran out by month,
It's an auto ,all the same wet belt problems
And won't do nothing,

Someone mentioned a recall ! But I've not seen that ???

I've seen recently that ford are now doing a recall on their 1lt because of the same problems,
So hopefully honda will do the same ,how can they allow customers to loss so much .
