Official summary

Dealer Message - Today, December 9, 2020, American Honda is announcing a warranty extension for certain 2015-17 Fit, 2016-18 HR-V, 2016-17 Pilot, and 2017 Ridgeline vehicles. This warranty extension covers the engine start/stop switch to address concerns of difficulty in starting or stopping the engine. American Honda is extending the warranty coverage of the engine start/stop switch to 9 years from the original date of purchase or 125,000 miles, whichever comes first.

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.
