AMERICAN HONDA JUST POSTED A SERVICE BULLETIN NOT RECALLING A PART FOR MARKETING PURPOSES

BUT LETTING ITS CONSUMERS WELL DEALERS KNOW IF A CUSTOMER COMES IN COMPLAINING ABOUT UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON THE REAR TIRES THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THIS CONROL ARM PROBLEM THEY ARE REPLACING THE CONTROL ARMS

THIS PROBLEM MAY START AT VARIOUS POINTS FOR YOU PROB AROUND 15K-24K

********24K*************IF YOU BRING IT IN BEFORE IT HITS 24K
THEN YOU WILL BE RIEMBURSHED FOR NEW TIRES EITHER BACK TWO AND POSSIBLY ALL FOUR.

Thanks for that!

 

Hmm **** I'm over 24K miles. Can't I just play a dumb angry american and get free tires off good customer service?

 

My tire wear is even, so I don't have this problem

 

is yours an 06 or 07?

maybe you had the work done on your car and you dont know it. or you have not noticed or waited long enough for the wear to take its place

it happens at a certain point in time alot of mileage must take place on the tire for this wear to happen as well not just 2000 miles you know that right

 

Mine got it at about 18k...

replaced tires, alignment in Nov/Dec, NOW there is a TSB.

Talking to dealer tomorrow to get some of my $520 back.

 

Were these tires ever rotated or have they always been on the rear?

 

Rotated/balanced at about 16k. thumping in rear moved to front.... then replaced the tires....

 

I have an 07. I didn't get the work done and not know it, because I didn't take it in until I wrote that post. My tires are wearing evenly though.

 

Well, I just searched NHTSA's website and there is no TSB concerning this issue.

It may be a Honda Bulletin.

Does anyone have a reference number or VIN range that this affects?

Thanks, nf
