Hello all, We are a manufacturer of instrument clusters and meters for the automotive industry. We recently received notice from our parent company in Japan that Honda is pushing back their lead free requirement from 12/31/2005 (giving them 6 months to compy with the EU regulations) to 2008. We confirmed this with Honda of America, but have not been able to find a reason for this deferral. Can anyone else confirm or deny this - and hopefully explain it? Thanks.
