(AHM) is investigating certain 2020-2021 Accord 2.0Ls & Civic 2.0Ls with a customer complaint of an oil leak or a dealer technician noticing an oil leak from the head cover gasket during a routine maintenance.

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.
