Honda prints phone sex number in 1.2 million car manuals!

Honda this week said it misprinted a toll-free auto-safety phone number in 1.2 million car manuals for the 2006 model year. Instead of an '888' prefix, Honda printed an '800.' And costumers to use the phone number didn't get just any service. They were greeted by a phone sex line-"for live one-on-one talk with a hot fantasy girl'. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Honda said it would send postcards to owners and dealers with the correction.

Misprint directs Honda owners to a very wrong number

Re: Honda prints phone sex number in 1.2 million car manuals!

That's funny. When I worked as a sales person at Sears our central service dept had us give out a contact number to all our customers who had products installed and needed service. When the people called that number they got an adult phone sex line called the "Pilgrim Line". The 80 year old woman who first discovered that did not find it as funny as I did.

That's a different kind of Odyssey.
