Just had a chat with mt dealer...
he says that all the work has been approved:- roof, roof catches, wheels.
but the wheels will be the old kind.....am calling honda Uk now to try and make some sense of this.
StevenM, would you mind if you PM'd me your reg number so I can use it as an example?
Many thanks.

Ok,
Spoke to the nice lady at honda uk.
It seems that the "counter measure" wheel is the same design of wheel, but with a thicker layer of laquer. This they feel will eliminate the problem.
They are also giving an extended warranty on these wheels. She had someone say it would be 10 years, but she felt it was more likely to be 6. She's waiting to see somthing in writing.
She also said that my wheels that go on next week should be the new type...
So we'll see what happens.
Cheers for the PM steve.

Well I'm keeping my fingers well and truly crossed for the recall, as Honda(UK) insist my wheels aren't corroding at all. I've apparently neglected them by cleaning them every week and by religiously applying Alloy Wheel Protector
