Service bulletin ABOM05292019901

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Dealer Message - Today, May 29, 2019, American Honda is announcing a Product Update for certain 2017-18 CR-V vehicles to address a possible shift knob button failure. Do an iN VIN status inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected. American Honda requests that all vehicles in dealer inventory be repaired prior to sale to ensure customer confidence and satisfaction. Due to a material change used in supplier production, the shift knob button is more susceptible to breaking after being exposed to heat and humidity. When the button breaks, the shifter will not function properly and it will become more difficult to shift the vehicle into the desired gear.
