I have a Fit and have had the recall letter but this article above is totally lacking in detail: "spring placed improperly in a small box inside the engine", whatever is that supposed to mean?

"Spring placed improperly in a small box inside the engine". Interesting. Improperly, small box, could break, might stop, it all sounds rather harmless. I checked this and it seems they mean "the lost motion springs, which are compressed by rocker arms in normal engine use, and that may bend or break over time resulting in abnormal engine noise and potentially causing engine damage or stalling". In short, bad valve springs. Which is a rather serious defect.

I suspect the engine malfunctions are a result of driver error.

I suspect the engine malfunctions are a result of driver error.

...only if the problem was isolated to the US like the unintended acceleration cases!

I hope that Honda can get it's act together!
