Perfect action ,is time to stop saving money in the name of the fame and make crap , now pay your fine and start to build something that people really deserve. The same happens with Toyota. If people notice that fast and start to turn to another brand and sure they have more care about the product they make for sure. They saving money with cheap material lad low quality products so they can't wait for a better result that this one.

Good for Honda, delaying those recalls, you managed to net yourself nearly a decades worth of opinions thinking that you were the "safe/reliable" brand.

On a more serious note, is this common practice for Japanese companies? To Delay recalls a decade?
