(Supersedes 07-036, dated August 17, 2011, to revise the information marked by the asterisks)
*REVISION SUMMARY
Under WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, the flat rate time was changed.*
BACKGROUND
The PGM-FI software can misinterpret sensor inputs as a deteriorated three-way catalytic converter or deteriorated NOx adsorptive three-way catalyst. If this happens, the MIL comes on with these DTCs:
^ 2002-03 Insight M/T - DTC P0420 (TWC catalyst system efficiency below threshold), or DTC P1420 (NOx adsorptive catalyst efficiency below threshold), or both
^ 2004-06 Insight M/T - DTC P2000 (NOx adsorptive catalyst efficiency below threshold)
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this product update. An example of the customer notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
In addition, check for a punch mark below the first character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this product update has already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. Repair these vehicles before they are sold.
Should a dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Update the PGM-FI software.
