    Honda sent me a postcard after the recall letter just to remind me there is a recall.
    Replaced the 3 yr old fluid shortly after buying the B, definite improvement, maybe as good as you can get with linked brakes.
    Fearful of taking to the dealer after all of the tales of woe.
    Perhaps by late summer they'll have the procedure down and I'll get it done.
    This BS is bad for the brand.

    Anti-Rattle Springs

    Both the front and rear calipers have anti-rattle springs/clips which keep the pads from moving! If the clip/spring is missing you will get a "thud sound" whenever braking. When I replaced my pads earlier this year I distinctly recall having to "push" the pads against the clip/spring before inserting the pad pins! It's worth a check

    Item #5 in the attached diagram is the clip/spring I'm referring to! Item #6 is the pad retainer!

    That's a good idea. Found it many times in customers cars. Especially if they had the jack out.

    Cleaned 'em out before going to the dealer - but, yes, thanks.
