Honda 5th Gen CRV Hybrid - brake pedal feel simulator

[ninjag]

I've been looking at this car, but seen a worrying amount of people experiencing problems with this brake pedal feel simulator. Apparently there's a huge recall in Japan (and also America?) but I believe Honda UK (and Europe) haven't recalled them here. This normally wouldn't surprise me, I used to own many Honda's and was very loyal, but their HQ were truly awful, but you'd think that brakes would be top priority.

Honda also seem to be very reluctant to pay for what has been established as a manufacturing defect. Some have been offer 40% goodwill, but that's not good enough. I can't find a distinct list of cars affected and apparently it can be a £3,000 bill. Basically, the brakes pretty much fail and you are left with barely any braking power.

Can anyone throw some more light on this because I was almost ready to buy one for the bullet proof reliability, but I came across this last minute and it's really shocked me.
