Tech Line Summary Article July 2016 ATS 160717 Version 1 Engine Rattles at Startup AFFECTED VEHICLES 2013−16 Accord L4 and 2015−16 CR-V Does the engine rattle at startup for about 1 to 3 seconds? What’s happening is the lock pin inside the VTC actuator isn’t holding the actuator properly. This lets the vane turn within the housing, causing a short rattle at startup. Currently there aren’t any countermeasures for the market, so do not replace the VTC actuator at this time. It’s very unlikely that doing so will fix this concern. We’re anticipating a service bulletin with troubleshooting and repair info in the near future. © 2016 American Honda Motor Co., Inc. – All Rights Reserved Page 1 of 1
