NHTSA's summary

Dealer message - On December 2, 2015, Honda issued Service Bulletin 15-046 ?Vibration While Driving and/or Stopped in Gear." This Service Bulletin and the product enhancements provided therein were intended to address complaints by some 2015 CR-V customers that they were experiencing unpleasant vibration. In December 2015, several class action lawsuits were filed relating to the vibration issue. Among other things, the plaintiffs alleged that when they complained about unpleasant vibration, some dealers indicated that the vibration did not exist, was an unknown issue or could not be addressed. These allegations were disputed throughout the litigation.

A18-0722019-10-29. Service bulletin. Service Bulletin - When cold-starting the engine and shifting to Reverse, the engine stalls in the first 10 to 14 seconds. There is too much oil clearance between the input and stator shafts, which allows ATF to drain out of the torque converter during extend off periods. During a cold start, when the torque converter is refilled, air gets trapped in the torque converter. This applies the lock up clutch, which stalls the engine.
