BACKGROUND
American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty to cover repairs related to engine misfire (that triggers DTCs P0301
thru P0304) to 10 years from the original date of purchase or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The piston ring function deteriorates due to ring wear and sticking from sludge. Oil from the crankcase adheres to the spark
plug leading to carbon fouling and misfire. This can set DTCs P0301 No. 1 cylinder misfire detected, P0302 No. 2 cylinder
misfire detected, P0303 No. 3 cylinder misfire detected, P0304 No. 4 cylinder misfire detected, and cause the MIL to
come on.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Complete the DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE and, if necessary, update the PCM software, replace affected spark plugs then
clean pistons and replace the piston rings. If cylinder inspection fails, perform engine block replacement, replace affected
spark plugs, and update the PCM software.
