2002-2006 Honda odometers not accurate

[roadrunner]

So this is how Hondas get great mileage? It appears that Hondas in the years 2002-2006 were recording more miles than actual. The odometer is not accurate."If you bought or leased a model year 2002 through 2006 Honda or Acura automobile or a model year 2007 Honda Fit, in the United States or its territories, between April 13, 2002 and November 7, 2006, you may be entitled to receive benefits under a class action settlement.
In compliance with the Court's Order of Preliminary Approval, on February 5, 2006, Honda disclosed that the automatic refunds of lease mileage penalties to be mailed to Class Members later this year totaled $6,100,000.00 as of December 31, 2006. This amount will continue to grow as the parties continue to await final settlement approval from the Court. The average amount to be returned to customers is approximately $265.00."

Basically people are saying the odometers are reading high by up to 4%, so honda is extending the warranty miles by 5%.

I have to wonder how many are aftermarket low profile tire related...

Heard it this morning on the radio too...wow!

[JanGeo]

Yeah my Geo was off and that was 1994 it reads more miles than actual and the xB is the other way by about 5% showing less miles extending my warrenty.

Most cars I drive show more miles and MPH than actual when compared to the SG or GPS. I hear the gub-ment allows this variance for warranties and mileage.

Speedometers typically read a bit high to prevent problems getting speeding tickets and such.

I thought odometers were supposed to read accurately though - for obvious reasons.
