Honda bulletin AEBM06172025901
Honda filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Jun 17, 2025, received Jul 2, 2025, about the engine. It names 2 model years (2016–2017). A manufacturer communication 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.
What the bulletin says
