Looks like Honda finally had to respond to all the VCM complaints dumped at their doorstep. If this settlement is approved in March 2014, Honda will extend the powertrain warranty on all 1.6 milion affected vehicles to 8 yrs/unlimited miles. Vehicles included:
• 2008-2012 Honda Accord;
• 2008-2013 Honda Odyssey;
• 2009-2013 Honda Pilot;
• 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour; or
• 2012 Honda Crosstour
Although I don't have any VCM-related issues(yet) on my 2013 Pilot at 8k miles, I wish Honda would fix the actual issue. Yet then again, the only fix may be scrapping the stupid VCM engine altogether. The whole constant cylinder activation/deactivation system is just too complex to justify the extra 1 mpg squeezed out. I'm surprised the lawsuit doesn't cover the many premature engine mount failures due to the VCM system as well.
