Took the 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid in for a 12V battery terminal recall. Apparently the factory never installed an inline fuse so the recall was for a new cable and battery terminal block.
After popping the hood a few days later I noticed the tech did not clean off any of the old battery terminal corrosion.
I figure this would be good practice when replacing a battery terminal, you know, cleaning off any old corrosion so it does not presumably spread to the new terminal and continue corroding. Additionally for appearance purposes as well as pride of work.
I took the battery out, cleaned it up along with the tray and did an engine detail. I didn't even want to bring it back because I don't trust this dealer anymore. Many other to go to in my area.
