Consumer Description

EVERY MORNING FOR ALMOST OVER A YEAR I WOULD START MY 2012 HONDA CRY. IT WOULD RATTLE LIKE THE MUFFLER WAS LOOSE. I WOULD LAST UNTIL IT WAS WARM UP. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW LASTING LONGER. I HAD MY CAR SERVICE THIS SUMMER AND HAD MY TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER. THE NOISE NEVER DISAPPEARED. FOUND OUT THAT THE NOISE IS ACTUALLY VTC AND THERE US A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS. BUT, NOW MY CAR IS OVER THE MILES. WHAT CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH THIS? COMMUNICATION NUMBER: A09-010, DATE: 2017-02-25 CATEGORY: 060000 ENGINE (PWS) SUMMARY: SERVICE BULLETIN - AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. READ MORE AT: HTTPS://WWW.OBD-CODES.COM/TSB/2012/HONDA/CR_V/ COPYRIGHT OBD-CODES.COM
