Fuel overflow TB issued Feb 22, 2018. Attached.

In a nutshell:

* 4-door Civics
* New "mis-fuel inhibit device", which is basically the cap on the end of the fuel receptacle
* On Si models only, a new cover that snaps into the door

So this doesn't cover all 2016+ Civics? And the non-Si models don't get a cover that snaps into the door?

Looking at the directions for the software update...

JFC. No wonder mechanics hate the tech in new cars these days.

C'mon, they're not that bad. I personally don't care if they restore my presets -- I'll tell them that.

Big thanks to civicfun for posting!

Restoring the presets looks would be the easy part. It's all the other stuff that looks like a PITA.

If any one has a 2016 or 17 civic an your rear shocks feel as stiff as a board or get really clunky then check to see if your car is equipped with the fluid dampers. I found a recall on them for the SI modal which also applies in the end to my hatchback sport due ot it having the exact same system as the SI in the suspension. Here is a Canadian bulletin about the issue. Mine is only a month old and it would hit bumps as if there was a brick in there for a shock. still does and the parts are on a huge back order due to the amount of cars requiring this fix. I would suggesting just throwing in a set of after market coil-overs as it removes the fluid filled dampers i believe. or possibly ask Honda just to put in the downgraded shocks which is literally just minus the fluid filled junk system.

I stumbled across this one on Google.
If anyone's front seat bolster is deformed, apparently, there's a TSB for it. Applies to 2016-2017 Civics (non-Si and Type-R), and 2017 CRV's.

Outstanding find. Not a problem with our FK7 and CR-V yet, but I've downloaded the PDF and will keep it in my back pocket (so to speak).

I had some spare time and was digging through Honda's TSB repository.
I found these TSBs for the current gen Civic that I haven't seen posted anywhere else in the forums:

I just checked my 2017 hatchback's VIN on a European Honda site and it gave out this as an available recall/update:
"17ym civ trailer nose towing weight om correction"

Doesn't sound as a "life-threatening" issue. I never towed anything with the car, neither am I planning to.
If somebody knows what the above description means, please don't hesitate to share.

P.S.: it's nice that they won't even be frank about what type of issue they are talking about ... I know what's a recall, but what is an "update"?

P.S.#2: somebody posted the same question on another forum a month ago (see: http://www.civinfo.com/forum/5307657-post5.html), but got no reply.

"om correction" = "owner's manual correction", maybe?

So my guess is that the information in the owner's manual about how much weight you can have on a towing hitch -- that is, the amount of weight that the nose of the trailer pushes down with -- is now determined to be incorrect, and needs to be updated.

This would be a safety issue if someone's towing stuff and they load up the trailer too heavily. Maybe a future owner would need the info.

Thanks for the tip! Your guess is convincing.

I'll bring this issue up at the dealership, when my first mandatory service appointment will be due. I wonder whether I'll get a new owners manual or they just put a sticker into the original one with the correct weight info. :-D I'll come back with an update in October (that's when my Civic'll celebrate it's first "birthday" and a servicing will be necessary).

 

[IronBorg]

Are there any 2018 service bulletins out?

 

[civicla]

Does anyone have TSB A18-012?
