Talk about speaking literately… Im referring to a toll-free number listed in more than a million Honda and Acura owner's manual printed between August 2005 and July 2006 that was intended to direct them to a government hotline for matters of highway safety. But a typing mistake (instead of 880, they wrote 800…) directed owners to a real hotline where a female voice urged them to call 1-800-918-TALK for "just 99 cents per minute"… Honda sent a letter last week to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, saying that they'll send postcards to dealers and owners in August with the correct NHTSA hotline information -1-888-327-4236- along with instructions to insert the card into the proper section of the manual. via: Windingroad
