NHTSA Complaint #11503319 — 2014 HONDA CR-V

The VTC (Variable Timing Chain) Actuator is faulty. It cause premature wear on the vehicle’s engine. I had mine replaced at 148,648 miles and it is now needing a replacement again at 162,560 miles. When performing a cold start on the vehicle, user will hear a 2-3 second grinding noise coming from the engine. When I had to replace the actuator the first time, the wear was so bad on my engine, it also meant I had to get a new timing chain as too much stress had been put on mine and the chain began to stretch.
