It was not the "convertible top" of the MY00 that was recalled, it was the "convertible top cover" (or toneau cover) that was recalled.

 

Did/can you get it done for free?

 

Yes, if your MY00 toneau cover has not been replaced, you can still get it done for free. As far as I know, there is no time limit on recalls. As long as you still own the car (and the recall has not been done), you can get the recall service done at any Honda dealer at any time. The recall services are logged on the Honda data-base, so if you have a VIN, you can ask any Honda dealer service manager to look up what recalls have been performed and which ones have not yet been done. Good luck.

Personally, for the toneau cover, it is not that important to have it replaced because I seldom use it myself.

 

Am considering the purchase of a used S2000 and have been scouring the board lately. Found this somewhere and would like to know if there's anywhere I can find the text of the ROW recalls, or at least the part numbers of the bolts and what their cost is/how difficult it would be to effect the removal of the old and installation of the new myself. Here's the information I had:
<begin quote>There was a Europe-only recall on oil jet bolts (banjo bolts?) until mid MY02. No recall here in the US. You might ask them to check if the oil pan has been removed (they should be able to tell if the bolts have been re-torqued... they might show wear from the socket). The issue of the oil jet bolts is somewhat controversial. Since there was no recall in the US, American Honda is thinking it will not lead to engine failure. In cars that are kept stock, replacing the bolts is probably not necessary. Conversely, if the bolts were installed incorrectly, they could seriously ruin the engine.<end quote>
So, can anyone shed some light on this? I tried looking through the UK forum, but was unsuccessful in finding any European recall info.
Thanks a lot,
Tom
P.S. In further checking this out, I did find a source for the engine oil/banjo bolts (upgraded ones that were in the ROW recalls), haven't checked with a local Honda dealer yet, but an S2ki supplier has them, here's the link to them:
