Honda rocker arm shaft retaining bolts may have been manufactured incorrectly resulting in the bolts loosening during engine operation.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling. Here is what owners need to know.
The rocker arm shaft retaining bolts may have been manufactured incorrectly resulting in the bolts loosening during engine operation. A loose bolt will initially result in a slow leak of engine oil, but if not addressed, the bolt can come out of the cylinder head entirely.
Without a bolt, the engine will have reduced power which may result in a stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rocker arm shaft retaining bolts, free of charge.
