Acura TLX engine recall

Desperate-Cheetah488@alien.topB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 1 year ago

I had my Acura TLX for 6 years , 196km I sold it about 3 and a half months ago because I had a Engine knock and I couldn’t afford to get the motor replaced. Car was fully paid off and not in any type of warranty . So I sold it because of the problem. Now they are recalling a bunch of Hondas and Acuras for the Engine and to be replaced.

The recall was the entire reason I sold the car and I find that completely unfair is there anything I can do ? I sold it for 7.5k and it was worth ( with a good Engine 16k) No fault of my own I lost 10k in value because of the faulty Engine?

Any feedback is much appreciated I just loved the car , especially when I could have gotten a brand new motor.

Thank you

The cost/value of a recall isn’t retroactive to prior ownership or a sale. There’s nothing you can pursue.
