Hey everyone,

I just got an email yesterday about this. Not sure if anyone else did either. Please read below:

According to American Honda (AHM) records, your vehicle may be included in a RECALL CAMPAIGN. It needs an inspection and, if necessary, a repair. We realize that American Honda's information could be incorrect or their information might need to be updated.

David McDavid Honda of Irving would like to inspect your Honda Civic Si for a leak in engine oil at the rear main seal. For AHM to fully understand the cause of this occurrence, we would like to inspect the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.

Please call us at 888-284-1515.

I am going to take my Si in to be checked. I will post more information as they give it to me.

Anyone else get this as well?

 

nervous...don't want any oil leaks...hopefully mine is good since it was built this september! Let us know what you find out...

 

No email here. Man I hope mine is okay.

 

As far as I know, I haven't had any leaks. Will be checking the engine thoroughly tonight though before I take it in.

 

exactly how did they get your e-mail address? I would think that if there was some sort of specific recall on your vehicle, that they would send a letter through the mail. An e-mail just sounds kind of weird to me. Is it Legit?

 

I am signed up through Honda owner link. In addition, I believe I gave it to the dealer at the time of purchase. They probably kept my email address from all the communications back and forth.

This is very legit. Had a rear main seal leak before in a car, didn't work out well for me then. So, I am not taking any chances with this one.

yea, they said it was the seal between the engine and transmission. it took about 4-5 days to fix. they didnt have that part in stock so i took an extra day.

its not something they told me could just be "popped in place" they needed to remove the engine and all that crap. good thing i had warranty at the time.

DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY HAVE THE BULTILLEN

 

This kind of things just make me worry ALOT
But thank you for posting it up just to let everyone kow

 

haha, without a notice or letter in the mail, to me that means free engine! lol not really but hey I hope mine is okay... Haven't seen any spots or smelled any.

 

i first got my si in january and in march i had a bad oil leak. it was the seal from the tranny, not engine oil. took it to honda and they fixed it no problem. strange the recall is 6-7 months later

 

owner link says my vin is ok but i need to open the hood and check anyways

Anyone know the VIN range?

So far, I having had any leaks. I am not taking any chances and taking advantage of the recall. Glad I only did the intake so far.

 

what is owners link? What is the web address? You just type your vin in and it will tell you any recalls?

 

honda.com there is a small link to it right on the page. Owner Link

 

I actually just called honda and had them type in my VIN number...they showed 0 recalls for my car

 

The oil leak is for the R18. There may be some problems with the seals in the back.

 

hopefully nit mine

 

any car doesnt nessary have to have warranty intact to it to qualify for repairs/serivces if theirs a recall ( factory defect or error /mistake of them)

so is this for the Si only? oh and yes the oweners link is suscribed to your phone addresss and email and such personal info for matters like this ....
