Received a notice from Honda on my 2019 Civic Touring that the powertrain control module (PCM) may have a software issue that misinterprets sensor inputs as a Fuel Level Sensor issue and turns on the malfunction lamp. As a result vehicle may be equipped with an improperly functioning on-board emission-related diagnostic system.
Honda strongly recommends having car inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
Has anybody received this notice and had the work done?

iirc, this update is to fix the emissions system problem error when your gas is below a certain threshold, only on the 2019 models.

My friend has a 2019 EX and got the update done, took them 45 minutes.

I got my notice yesterday for my 2019 sport sedan. I have ktuner, so i may wait a week or two in order to verify i can easily reflash my ecu after they flash this update on the dealer. All I care is to not get my car flagged for lack of proper maintenance if i don't take it in.

I got a notice from Honda about my Civic a week ago. The check engine light hasn’t come on yet but the Honda dealership where I purchased my car was able to get my car in this evening. They’re updating the software on all recalled cars as a precaution. It’s a 2 1/2 hour fix to update the software.

I wouldn't say its pushing the limits. What it feels like is how the car should have been tuned from Honda. I highly recommend it and setting the throttle response to level 2. The car no longer feels like its losing power at the top end and you actually feel and hear the vtec kick in which is nice. I feel like this engine can be further tuned and would be awesome if it had a tad bit more throttle response. I totally recommend the purchase. I have a better review of it on another thread. Look for the one that is titled something like 2.0l big gains for the 2nd time.

Any effects on performance or mpg?

Around 3 weeks ago I had it done as well. In answer to your question, no, it has no effect on performance or mpg. It’s more of a preventative measure.
