Honda: 2003 Accord recall - does anyone know the scoop?

I have the same car, purchased in May. I received a notice in July
(or perhaps August) related to a potentially loose vacuum hose ( as I
recall) and an ECU programming problem that may occur when you rock
the car between Drive and Reverse such as trying to get out of snow
(Honda's example).

I heard that there had been an earlier recall on 03 Accords, but they
didn't apply to mine.

My guess is that your car has already had these corrections.

Bought my Accord in March, and I received "the letter", which states, in
part, "A weak hose clamp on the intake air breather pipe can cause the pipe
to separate from the engine. If this happens, the intake air system will not
work properly."
Took it to the dealer, all done. Perhaps the problem was already fixed on
yours.

does anyone know the item they change because the dealers will not look
at my car because of my engine start in my stick shift

We got ours in October 2002. we got a letter that had 3 issues listed. Evap
Canister, Intake air breather pipe and No reverse condition. All were
repaired by the dealer. the letter was sent in August 2003. It is possible
that you got your car after I got mine and the issues were already
corrected. If you want to, you can check with your dealer or American Honda.
I am sure that they will know by your VIN if you have any of the issues.
