What is wrong
On certain vehicles equipped with all wheel drive, drive shaft bolts may have been insufficiently tightened at time of assembly and could loosen over time. This could cause the drive shaft to detach, which would result in excessive noise and possible damage to the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bolts and repair as necessary.

| B16-062 | 2018-10-15. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - A judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch may be felt while driving between 20 and 60 mph. The problem is typically diagnosed as a bad torque converter. American Honda investigated the judder and found that the torque converter was not causing the judder and the transmission is not damaged by this judder. |
| B18-035 | 2018-07-16. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - During assembly, a transmission case bolt was not properly torqued allowing ATF to leak. |
| Service Bulletin | 2018-06-11. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - There is a grinding, rattling, vibrating, fluttering, or buzzing noise coming from the front of the vehicle under light acceleration with the engine speed under 2,000 rpm. The noise may occur during shifting and may be mistaken for a torque converter shudder. The bulkhead cover fasteners (latches and strikers) may become detached. |
| B18-014 | 2018-05-07. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - When adjusting seat height or tilt, the power seat does not move or moves just a small amount and clicks loudly during operation. The vertical transmission assembly (VTA) unit has a stripped internal gear. |
| B16-063 | 2018-04-16. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - After the software update, some vehicles based on how they are driven (extreme conditions) may still experience ATF deterioration after updating the PGM-FI or A/T system and the shudder may return. The problem is typically diagnosed as a bad torque converter (TC). There is no damage to the TC, but because the ATF has deteriorated, it needs to be changed even though the ?ATF Service Due? message has not appeared. |
| B16-062 | 2018-04-16. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - A judder from the torque converter lock-up clutch may be felt while driving between 20 and 60 mph. The problem is typically diagnosed as a bad torque converter.

| BVE02142018901 | 2018-02-26. Service bulletin. Dealer message - Every Service Bulletin requires you to take an HDS snap shot and use the job aid or Tech2Tech to confirm the judder/shudder is coming from the torque converter. |
| Service Bulletin | 2017-09-27. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - After driving in reverse and steering, there is a buzz or grunt after shifting from Reverse to Drive and turning the steering wheel. For example, the client turns while backing out of a driveway, shifts to Drive, and then turns the wheels to drive off, may hear the buzz or grunt. The software that manages the electric power steering (EPS) is designed to provide good steering 'feedback' in all vehicle operating conditions. To acquire the correct 'feel,' different settings are required in reverse and forward directions. The improved software is designed to prevent the buzz or grunt during the transition of rapidly changing from Reverse to Drive while turning the wheel to maneuver the vehicle. |
A bulletin is the manufacturer's note to its dealers. It is not part of this recall.
