2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2008

While driving on the freeway my low beams went out. . . Smoke was coming out from the steering wheel. . . Conducted research and found this recall: id 04v086000 from Feb, 24 2004. Called Honda and they mentioned that there is no problem with this issue. This is the second time it happens to me. First time I took it to a regular mechanic that replaced the switch. . . This time I am also paying for it. I think there is something wrong with the harness. . .
