I wonder if it'll extend to MY18 owners since apparently it affects us too.

right now only the 2017 is in the bulletin because the 2018 came from the factory with the "updated harness"

It’s not a recall it’s a tsb. You have to call the dealership to see if your harness needs to be replaced.

So what you're saying is you believe that they need to check my harness to see if it has been updated. If it has, they won't do anything, if it hasn't, they're supposed to replace it.

No, they check your vin in their system. Checking online or through the Honda app only tells you about actual recalls, not tsb’s.

I think so, TSBs can only be done while the car still under warranty . Just like the N54 twin turbo/fuel pump replacement . If it ain't broke they won't touch it .

no you call honda and have them check your VIN in their system. If there's no open TSB for that VIN, they won't do anything.

Not true, some dealerships are choosing not to fix cars that don’t have the harness issue but others are just fixing all that are on the list.

1. call your local honda dealership
2. ask for service department
3. tell them about the open TSB and want to know if your VIN is affected.
4. give service adviser your VIN so he can run the VIN in the system.
5. If there is an open TSB, go to step 6. If not say thank you and hang up.
6. make an appointment with your dealership to have the tsb performed.
o_O

if your VIN is affected, they need to perform the TSB whether you have the cel or not.

Lots of people. The CEL/rev match/etc. is common to many emissions-related codes, and thus, could be many things. This particular issue throws (or could eventually throw) a (IIRC) 029 code, and only happens on early 2017 production cars that have a particular version/lot of the engine harness.

I got the letter (snail mail) this past week about calling a dealer to schedule a day to fix it. I just don't care enough seeing how it's not the primary vehicle by any stretch and don't really drive it either. Plus from working in a few dealerships as a tech I don't trust anyone else to touch my baby.
