Friend of mine wants to install a bike rack on a trailer hitch. He was told
by Honda that he needs, in addition to the hitch, a modification to
transmission cooling or whatever which will cost an additional $1000 or his
warranty will be void. He has no intention of trailering anything. Is there
a way around this?

I find it hard to believe, that anyone at a Honda Dealership would tell a
customer that they're vehicle's warranty would be voided for something so
simple as a trailer hitch. He (or she) should contact the zone office for
his area and find out the true answer.

Must have spoken to a salesman? A bike rack adds little weight, and
only a bit of wind resistance. It's not like he's planning to tow a
cattle trailer.

Gimmie a break ! !

Tell your friend to find a better dealer. :-(

Installing your own hitch is real easy. Your friend doesn't need a wiring
kit - but they have those as well. Your friend will come out well south of
$1000.
