…they will arise much sooner than the end of your warranties or be unrelated. Again, you are all arguing with the wrong person. I didn't make the decision to stroke or not stroke affected owners with warranty extensions. My only point with the comment was that if you are really concerned about the human factors failure modes here, you should be discussing different solutions than a warranty extension.BUT should AC Compressor issues, Transmission issues, oil leaks or anything else arise
…
They could make the procedure 1,000 pages long and you aren't eliminating the human element. In fact, you are less likely to get compliance if you make it that long. This is a balancing act whenever you develop and validate a technical work instruction. (Something I've been involved with just a few times.) Too long, it gets ignored because the tech just says "what do they think I am, a dummy?" and gets on with doing it the way that seems best. (Another very real human factor response that has to be accounted for.) Too short and you leave stuff out.Unless they pay attention and keep close track of what fastener, screw, etc goes where and just happen to know what torque to use on which screw, which as you said yourself they don't really pay attention to, it leaves more room for error than if the details were provided.
I'm just not clear what you are all expecting here besides that this issue never happened. Honda is not developing this documentation to make affected owners feel better about the process.
