Warranty Extension:
3.2 TL and 3.2 CL Automatic Transmission (Supersedes 02-027, dated January 7, 2007, to update the information marked by asterisks)
BACKGROUND
In certain vehicles, a higher than normal number of A/Ts have defects in material or workmanship that could cause premature wear or failure. To ensure
that clients have adequate warranty coverage, American Honda is increasing the warranty on the transmission and the torque converter to 93 months (7
years and 9 months) or 109,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
*NOTE:
Because of a different class action settlement unrelated to the A/T, the warranty extension coverage for A/Ts and torque converters on 2002-03
3.2CLs and 3.2TLs purchased or leased between April 13, 2002, and November 7, 2006, is now 93 months (7 years and 9 months) or 114,450 miles,
whichever occurs first. For more information, refer to Service Bulletin 06-050, Warranty Extension: Vehicle Warranty Mileage.*
VEHICLES AFFECTED
CLIENT NOTIFICATION
The court sent a notification to all potentially affected clients in August/September 2006. The mailed notification was sent to original registered
purchasers, and it informed them of the terms of the proposed settlement. A notice of the approved settlement also appeared in national newspapers and
news websites.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If diagnosis indicates a problem with the torque converter or an internal A/T problem, replace the affected unit and the PCM.
NOTE:
When you order a remanufactured A/T, you will also get an updated PCM (shipped separately) and you may get an updated fuel pressure regulator.
Make sure you install these items as part of A/T replacement.
