This is just a guess.
I bet the ECM is technically swapable.
They would have to reprogram the vehicle specifics like keys and remotes.
Ten do the same when the new ECM arrives.
It may also be against either sealer policy, Honda policy, or even some wonderfull do-gooder politicians silly laws.
Or it could be they just don't have a vehicle sitting on the lot that they want to make unsellable when the option is to pay $20-30 a day in rental fees.
Don't complain, that is probably the same decision you would make if you owned the dealership.
If you are realy miffed, call Honda Customer Service.
The number is in your owner's manual, on the web site, on the customer satiusfaction survey they sent you, and available at the dealer. |
