What it saysDealer message - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Acura filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Mar 22, 2022, received Apr 7, 2022, about the electrical system. It names 2 model years (2018–2019). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Acura BTI&03222022902 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the BTI&03222022902 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Honda warranty extension on file lists the ones Honda has filed.

Which vehicles does BTI&03222022902 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2019 Acura NSX, 2018 Acura NSX. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
