HONDA A powertrain warranty extension may offer help for some Crosstour owners. In T.S.B. 13-079 issued on Oct. 8, Honda said that as part of a class-action-lawsuit settlement, the company would extend the warranty to cover repairs related to a condition in 2010-12 V-6 models.
The company said that the piston rings in some cylinders might rotate and align their end gaps, leading to oil fouling the spark plugs. This can cause a misfire, rough running and the Check Engine light to illuminate. The revised warranty is eight years with unlimited mileage for repairs related to the condition, from five years or 60,000 miles. Replacing the piston rings, spark plugs and related parts will fix the trouble.
