Honda recall - anybody?

Options
Hi we have a Honda CRV 2004 which had a recall on it on the drivers window power switch which on letting water in it could poss burn out - as rain got in it one day, it stopped working so I booked it in.

Top and bottom of it is Stockport Honda re-sealed it but didnt check if the switch itself was still working. I have been round the houses on their advice saying it wouldn't be the switch but the regulator/motor which didn't turn out to be the problem as it was the switch itself. Can anyone tell me if it is the responsibility of the dealer to check/ensure the actual switch is fully working after this recall?

I have complained to Honda who are 'awful' in dealing with/getting back to me on this,
Here's a quote form the original press release...''Second series drivers are being asked to take their car to a dealer to have it checked and get the switch repaired.
Honda's general manager for corporate affairs in the UK, Paul Ormond, said: "What we've got to do is check each of the window switch areas that the seal is tight and if there is any incidence of burning or anything underneath, we'll replace the circuitry there.
"We will have it sorted out before Christmas''

The Macclesfield branch of Honda said it would be normal and good practice to check over the switch to make sure it was working after re-sealing it thanks Steve ;)
