BACKGROUND
Part Name
American Honda is announcing a powertrain warranty
extension as a result of a settlement of a class
captioned, Soto et al. v. American Honda Motor Co.,
Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-1377-SI (N.D. Cal.).
The piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and
align which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set
DTCs P0301 through P0304 and cause the MIL to
come on.
