Dealer Message - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) is investigating certain 2017-2019 CR-Vs with a customer complaint of an oil leak at the valve cover. To better understand the cause of this condition, AHM would like to collect specific parts from the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
