I got mine done in half a day but have a new issue to report/caution others about. When I picked mine up from the dealer (3/21/11), I had a giant 1 1/2 foot crack extended from the lower right of the windshield. I talked to the service manager the next morning and he told me to bring it in. When I first talked to the service rep, she was wanting to deny any issue. But then the manager came out and said he completely understood how they probably did it when they put the cowl back in place and got me a new windshield on order. Kudos for prompt acknowledgement but boos for evidently hoping I wouldn't notice in the first place. I'm taking it in tomorrow for the windshield. I think I was their first or second Fit in for the recall.
As for how she drives, maybe a tad quieter? I took her on a hilly, curvy 5 hr drive up into the Ouachita mtns of Arkansas and back for a business conference late in the week. No worries and 42 mpg (4-5 miles better than recent).

After reading all the numerous issues cited in this thread, I walked into the dealership (Hilton Head Honda, South Carolina) with very tightly clenched butt cheeks. I am relieved to note that the job got done with no problems whatever. I arrived at 8am, they allowed two hours for cooldown before beginning the work, and my wife's 2009 Orange Revolution pumpkin on wheels was ready at noon.
I checked rather carefully, and absolutely nothing was out of order: no gaps, no missing clips, wipers properly positioned. Some of us are just lucky, I guess.

ok well I've got an odd one.....wife dropped off her Fit on the 23rd to have the recall done....turned into a 450 dollar visit...apparently the left fog light was broken and had to be replaced...then they hit her up for the 30K checkup and cabin air filter replacement...I was out of town so not able to have her call me and turn down some of the stuff they did....
In any event that is water under the bridge and done...what I'm not sure of is if they actually did the recall work?? I asked her tonight for the paperwork and all she had was papers on the other stuff that was done, nothing for the lost springs etc....I had looked at her car earlier today and everything looked like it had not been touched, ....the cowl looked fine and so did the wipers...the valve cover did not look like it had been disturbed either..hmmmmmm........
I find it hard to believe that they would not have done the work especially since the service writer took the time to explain in detail and show pictures to my wife detailing exactly what work was being done involving the recall.
If I pop in her VIN on the Honda recall site it still shows as being open 4 days later.....
Someone at AutoFair Honda in Manchester NH will probably have a lot of explaining to do if it turns out they did all that other work and conveniently "forgot" about the real reason her Fit was in there in the first place. Or they have the most meticulous tech in the world lol
They have been too good to us over the last year or so to pull any nonsense, I'm confident of that....and I am also 99% sure that they would not say they recall work was done without doing it...they are too big of a dealership in this area to pull that stunt, word got out they were doing that they would be finished
Calls will be made in morning to verify A) was work done? B) why no paperwork on it??

if the recall work was done, there should be a Center-punch completion mark (a "dot") above the 1st character of the engine compartment VIN

Scheduled the recall work to be done next week. The service writer heard "lost-motion-spring" recall and sprang into action. Said bring the car in for us to look at, we'll need it for the day since a lot of stuff needs to come off the engine, can't do it on a Saturday. Seemed like this dealer has the ball rolling pretty well with the recall. We'll find out if they do or not.

Hmmm. We don't give you the tire pressure monitor. In some models, you don't get a spare tire. And now, we won't let you get that lost motion spring. You Canadians had better remind us Americans that you have those fantastic tar sands which produce sh#tloads of that oil we need so desperately! We have to start treating you better.

My Fit was on the same boat I think. I called my dealer, just to be sure, and they did confirm it wasn't part of the recall.

i had the recall done today (open road honda, edison, nj).
they replaced the LMS.
the car sounds the same and feels the same. no sign of any damage or changes whatsoever.
they did not remove the cowl.... so it's fine.

Got my recall work done today. Noticed no extra noises from my engine bay driving home. Also all clips appeared to be replaced. Car sounds good and looks good; just have to get my bumper repainted from that body shop issue now.
