FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING FAILED AND STARTED LEAKING. HONDA NOTIFIED THE DEALERS BUT NOT THE OWNERS LIKE ME SEE HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/MC-10107367-9340.PDF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION NEED TO BE 10 YEARS NOT 7 YEARS SINCE 1) THIS WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO OWNER 2) THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE THAT SHOWS UP EVEN BEFORE 100K MILES 3) WARRANTY EXTENSION GAVE HONDA THE BENEFIT OF 7 YEARS OR 100K MILES WHICHEVER IS LESS WHEN IT SHOULD BE WHICHEVER IS MORE SINCE ISSUE HAPPENS MAINLY AFTER YEAR 7 AND OVER 100K MILES (PUBLIC SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THIS QUALITY ISSUE AND NOT THE MANUFACTURER). THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC ABOUT 1,200 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. HONDA EVEN ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 15-045 HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10107448-9340.PDF ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER NOTIFIED OWNERS AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS NOW THAT THE PERIOD HAS EXPIRED.

OTHER HONDA PILOTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN MY HONDA DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS REPAIRED MANY OF THESE AND SAID HONDA SHOULD RECALL THEM. PLEASE MAKE HONDA EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND/OR FIX THIS QUALITY ISSUE ON THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR
