FWIW, in the Consumer Reports article, the Honda rep they spoke with said: “The irregular high oil level condition is not as widespread as some internet chatter may imply.”Motortrend just posted an article about this. Honda says they will be issuing a fix for this come mid november and will be outfitting all 2019 not yet sold as well. Didn't mention what the fix was, but they have come up with something.
Very odd that this issue seems to only be reserved to the CRV 1.5T and haven't really heard anything in regards to the Civic or Accord 1.5T having the same issues, and pretty sure the Accord 1.5T is an almost exact copy over of the CRV, same turbo etc.
Sure it might be Honda downplaying things a bit, but Internet is also known for this disproportionate effect of a few people with bad experiences being outspoken and thousands of those without any problems just quietly enjoying their cars.
