REVISION SUMMARY
Under REQUIRED MATERIALS, Hondabond HT was added.
CLIENT NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. Warranty claims submitted within 6 months of
the client notification will be covered regardless of mileage or vehicle age. Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the
vehicle is shown as eligible.
BACKGROUND
The oil control rings may become clogged with carbon deposits. These deposits restrict the ring's ability to scrape and
return oil from the cylinder wall to the crankcase, which can result in excessive engine oil consumption that may exceed
client expectations.
To increase client confidence, American Honda is extending the engine warranty related to oil consumption to 8 years
from the original date of purchase or 125,000 miles, whichever comes first.
This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a
financial institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any states law. To check for vehicle eligibility,
you must do a VIN status inquiry.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If the client complains of oil consumption, do the oil consumption test. If the test shows excessive oil consumption,
contact your DPSM for approval, then disassemble and inspect the engine. In most cases, you will need to replace the
pistons, piston pins, and rings.

CLIENT INFORMATION:The information in this bulletin is intended for use only by skilled technicians who have the proper tools, equipment, and
training to correctly and safely maintain your vehicle. These procedures should not be attempted by “do-it-yourselfers,” and you should not assume
this bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle has the condition described. To determine whether this information applies, contact an
authorized Acura automobile dealer.
