    yeah i suggest all the guys that have an 05 get that hose replaced..

    with the service bulletins, just call your local dealer and ask them about it with the bulletin number.. also there is one for the rear wing replacement..if you have one that is flaking or fading you can get a whole new wing..they will replace it.

    whats the number for the hose recall? also arent they obiligated to contact you if your car falls in those manufacter dates? i know they did that with my wifes old accord with the airbag recall. and they check the vin if it fell within the range. haha i just dont want to make a un necassary trip to the stealership, and if they get bold try to bag on ppl with mods.
