Warranty Extension: Engine Oil Consumption Exceeds Client Expectations
VIN:
Dear :
On certain 2009–14 Acura
vehicles equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine, the oil control rings may become clogged
with carbon deposits during normal engine operation. These deposits restrict the control ring’s ability to return oil
from the cylinder walls to the crankcase, resulting in excessive engine oil consumption.
Acura
is extending the power-train warranty coverage to cover engine issues related to excessive oil consumption
from the original coverage of 6 years/70,000 miles to 8 years/125,000 miles, whichever comes first. To further
ensure client satisfaction and confidence, any affected vehicles from now until September 1, 2019 will be covered
regardless of time in service or mileage.
What should you do?
If you are experiencing any excessive engine oil consumption, contact any authorized Acura
dealer for an
appointment to have your vehicle inspected. Acura
will do an engine oil consumption test. If the dealer determines
there is excessive oil consumption, the dealer will repair your vehicle free of charge. Please plan to leave your
vehicle at the dealer for at least half a day to allow them flexibility in scheduling.
Check Your Vehicle for Open Recalls
To check your vehicle’s eligibility for potential recalls, please access the Acura
Recall Lookup tool at
www.myAcura.com and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Extensión de garantía: El consumo de aceite del motor excede las expectativas del cliente
VIN:
Estimado :
En ciertos vehículos Acura
2009–2014 equipados con un motor V6 3.7L, los anillos de control de aceite pudieran
taparse con los depósitos de carbón durante el funcionamiento normal del motor. Estos depósitos restringen la
habilidad de los anillos de control de regresar el aceite de las paredes de los cilindros al cárter, ocasionando
consumo excesivo de aceite del motor.
Acura
está extendiendo la cobertura de la garantía del tren de potencia para cubrir los problemas del motor
relacionados con el consumo excesivo de aceite del motor de la fecha original de compra de 6 años/70.000 millas
a 8 años/125.000 millas, lo que ocurra primero. Para garantizar la satisfacción del cliente y la confianza, cualquier
vehículo afectado desde este momento hasta el 1 de septiembre del 2019 será cubierto sin importar el tiempo en
servicio o millas.
¿Qué debe hacer?
Si usted está experimentando consumo excesivo de aceite del motor, comuníquese con cualquier concesionario
Acura
autorizado para coordinar una cita para la inspección de su vehículo. Acura
realizará una prueba de
consumo de aceite del motor. Si el concesionario determina que existe consumo de aceite excesivo, el
concesionario reparará su vehículo sin costo alguno. Por favor haga planes para dejar su vehículo en el
concesionario por lo menos medio día, para permitir flexibilidad en la programación.
Verifique si su vehículo tiene una campaña de seguridad pendiente
Para verificar la elegibilidad de su vehículo por campañas de seguridad potenciales, por favor acceda la
herramienta de búsqueda “Acura
Recall Lookup” en www.myAcura.com e ingrese su número de identificación
del vehículo (VIN).
