Here's a thought (on the HCH cats)......

Emissions Warrantys are typically 100,000 miles these days.........

As a fleet manager it would be REALLY smart to test a component that is just going out of warranty..

So why not smog test every vehcile at just under 100,000 and see what kind of free parts I can get.....

They may not have failed in the sence most people think of (i.e getting so plugged the car can't move)....they may have just failed a smog test, probably because they ran hotter than normal (too lean as the last post said), in a very hot environment.

I would not read too much into it. Honda builds good cars - you rub them on the carpet and they will go.
