This notice applies to your vehicle: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Warranty Extension: Steering Feels Heavy, EPS Indicator Blinks with No DTCs or Comes On
Steady with DTC 32-09, 32-08, or 61-04

Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME:
The vehicle’s steering may feel heavier than normal - or is hard to turn - particularly when the vehicle is
not moving because of an electric power steering (EPS) control unit failure. If this happens, either the
EPS indicator blinks with no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored, or the EPS indicator comes on
steady with at least one of the following DTCs stored: DTC 32-09, DTC 32-08, or DTC 61-04.
American HondaeBay logo is extending the warranty on the EPS (electric power steering) control unit to 15 years
from the original date of purchase with no mileage limit.
This warranty extension will 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 state’s law.
What should you do?
If the vehicle is hard to turn or the EPS indicator on the instrument panel comes on (either steady or
blinking), go to any authorized HondaeBay logo dealer to have the vehicle inspected. If the EPS control unit is
found to be the source of the issue (EPS blinks with no DTCs or comes on steady with DTC 32-09, 32-08,
or 61-04), the EPS control unit will be replaced. This work will be done for free. Please plan to leave your
vehicle at the dealer for at least a day to allow them flexibility in scheduling.
Lessor Information
Please forward a copy of this notice to the lessee.
What to do if you feel this notice is in error
Our records show that you are the current owner or lessee of a 2013-14 Crosstour involved in this
warranty extension. If this is not the case, or the name/address information is not correct, please fill out
and return the enclosed, postage-paid Information Change Card. We will then update our records.
If you previously paid to have your EPS control unit replaced because the steering felt heavier than
normal, you may be eligible for reimbursement, even if you no longer own the vehicle. Refer to the
attached reimbursement instructions for eligibility requirements and the reimbursement procedure.
If you have questions
If you have any questions about this notice, or need assistance with locating a HondaeBay logo dealer, please call
American HondaeBay logo’s Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. You can also locate a
dealer online at www.Hondacars.com. Customers in U.S. territories, please contact your local
distributor/dealer.

Campaign #6E1 / Service Bulletin #19-036

Agosto del 2019
Esta notificación aplica a su vehículo: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Extensión de garantía: La dirección se siente pesada, el indicador EPS destella sin códigos DTC o
se enciende de manera constante con los códigos DTC 32-09, 32-08, o 61-04

Estimado FIRSTNAME LASTNAME:
La dirección del vehículo puede sentirse más pesada de lo normal - o es difícil de dar vueltas particularmente cuando el vehículo no se está moviendo debido a una falla de la unidad de control de la
dirección eléctrica asistida (EPS). Si esto sucede, bien sea el indicador EPS destella sin códigos de
diagnóstico de problemas (DTC) almacenados, o el indicador EPS se enciende de manera constante con
al menos uno de los siguientes códigos DTC almacenados: DTC 32-09, DTC 32-08, o DTC 61-04.
American HondaeBay logo está extendiendo la garantía en la unidad de control de la EPS (dirección eléctrica
asistida) a 15 años a partir de la fecha original de compra, sin límite de millas.
Esta extensión de garantía no aplicará a todo vehículo que alguna vez se haya declarado pérdida total o
que se haya vendido para su recuperación por una institución financiera o aseguradora, o que tenga una
marca o título similar conforme alguna ley estatal.
¿Qué debe hacer?
Si es difícil dar vuelta al vehículo o el indicador EPS en el panel de instrumentos se enciende (bien sea
de manera constante o destellando), vaya a cualquier concesionario HondaeBay logo para que su vehículo sea
inspeccionado. Si la unidad de control de la EPS es la fuente del problema (la EPS destella sin códigos
DTC o se enciende de manera constante con los códigos DTC 32-09, 32-08, o 61-04), la unidad de
control de la EPS será reemplazada. Este trabajo se realizará de forma gratuita. Por favor haga planes
para dejar su vehículo en el concesionario por lo menos un día, para permitir flexibilidad en la
programación.
Información para el arrendador
Por favor envié una copia de esta notificación al arrendatario.
Qué debe hacer si considera que esta notificación es errónea
Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario o arrendatario de un Crosstour 2013 - 2014, el cual
forma parte de esta extensión de garantía. Si no es el caso, o si la información de nombre/dirección no
está correcta, por favor llene y devuelva la Tarjeta de Cambio de Información anexa con el porte pagado.
Con esto actualizaremos nuestros registros.
Si usted anteriormente ha pagado por el reemplazo de la unidad de control de la EPS debido a que la
dirección se sentía más pesada de lo normal, usted puede calificar para un rembolso, aunque ya no sea
el propietario del vehículo. Consulte las instrucciones para reembolso que se encuentra anexa, para ver
los requisitos de elegibilidad y el procedimiento de reembolso.
