Yes, interesting .... notice that Honda indicated it's donating and volunteering assistance to the relief efforts, whereas others have not uttered a single word about that.

Too bad Honda didn't keep the MC plant in Marysville Oh...

Have heard Honda is shutting down its MC plant to produce generators.  Wonder if that will affect U-joint production date?

I doubt Honda makes the u-joints.

As was indicated ... Honda does not make the U-joint.  .... and if they contracted someone in Japan to make it, I would bet it might be awhile, while their focus is taking care of other things.
