Consumer Description

FRONT PASSENGER AXLE BROKE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS WHEN STOPLIGHT TURNED GREEN. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I FOUND THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS FRONT AXLE FOR 2013 FIT MADE BETWEEN 5/24-7/5/13 FOR THIS FAILURE, BUT HONDA SAYS MY CAR HAD NO RECALL ON FILE SO IT WOULDN'T BE PART OF THIS RECALL. CAR ONLY HAS 59500 MILES. CUSTOMER SERVICE UNABLE TO TELL ME ACTUAL DATE MY CAR MFG AND THAT THEY ARE METICULOUS ON RECALLS. IF THEY'RE SO METICULOUS, WHY DID THEY PUT IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED AXLES IN 3108 CARS? I SUSPECT MINE GOT MISSED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE BROKEN AXLE, WHICH I CAN TAKE TO A METALLURGIST IF NECESSARY.
