Well... I mean.. it's a recall for 2001 and 2002 Accords. These have been on the road for a long time. How many owners will find out about the recall and even car to take their car in for it we do not know. Also if you read the article and not the sensationalist headline that these news corps are so good at, the recall is for 440,000.
Anyways, for perspective, the Toyota recall is 8 Million cars.
