Did you have the LMS Recall Done?
Since this is definitely the topic at hand, I figured I'd throw out this poll for those that have had the recall done. - I'm purposely omitting the option of Not done yet. Really interested only in experiences and stats from those who have had the recall done. (plus I don't think you can change your answer once you've voted so.... Vote AFTER you've had it done)
Add some info in the comments about the following:

2010 Model - Recall Completed.
Took the morning to do. Everything seems fine so far. My dealer seemed well prepared and I had a good experience overall. Got my letter from Honda a few days after my recall was done so beat them to the punch.
Edit: just checked the owner's link and it's been updated to show the car was recalled and repaired.

2009 Recall complete. Dropped off the car Friday morning and they finished 4-5hrs later. Longest part of the recall is probably the time to let the engine/oil to cool so they can work on it. Everything seems great.
My wiper was a little off too. Adjusted it myself when I got home. That took a miniute max. Just loosen the 14mm nut, pop the wiper to the up position, wiggle to your desired angle, tighten bolt.

i think the 3rd option is misleading.. because on my receipt it says "Recall completed" but iam pretty sure they didn't change out those springs, it was done just way too fast.
well.. maybe it was done on my car.. because it took them 2 hours.. but who knows..
the damage done, was just 1 ziplock ripped off and not replaced, as well as the 2 clips for the cowl was ripped off and not replaced.

done fast, car runs fine...
I bought my car, and have it serviced, at Rick Roush Honda in Medina OH. They had the car a day, apparently let it cool because they finished it in the afternoon. The repair order gave a flat rate of 1.6 hours, they "disassembled engine, replaced springs, adjusted valves and reassembled engine". Car runs just as it did, and sounds just as it did, before the repair. I got the recall letter a couple days after Roush Honda called me. All in all, a good experience so far.

my 2009 sport was in the recall. however, my motor gave out on me in august, and they replaced my motor, with a 2010 motor. so, my VIN was on the recall, they opened my car up, and my motor was fine. so my status is........fixed? lol

Time took: 3 days!
Afterwards the car runs really well and the ticking noise I used to hear (58k miles, 09 sprt) is minimal.
Only issue besides the time it took, was my cowl was not properly placed and missing 1 end clip.

I count it ironic that my last previous Honda was a 76 Civic CVCC 5 speed. It had motor issues, namely bad head bolts that eventually caused engine failure. So, 34 years later, my Fit has bad parts in the motor. I'm feeling snakebit!
