Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

[Use20]

woahhh so crazy how news travel fast, I was just looking at the article for the stop sale related to seat welding point issue

Tuhroo actually posted a picture of a service bulletin from Honda head office, in the states

and then few seconds later I get a screen shot of service bulletin advisor from Honda Canada

I won't mention who or where for confidentiality but it just came out now... BUTTT!!!

here is the interesting part, in the screenshot it says units affected

says 79 units (3 unsold)

So that tells me there are 79 FL5s in Canada, where are they!!!? find that hard to believe...and how is there so many of us still waiting on ours when 79 FL5s were sold ? I am certain that number is for the FL5 because the memo subject only addresses 2023 Civic Type R - Driver's seat ...

Didn't say Civic or Honda in general which may include other models, this memo is only out for the Type R and apparently 79 units were sold here already

I think there are may be 2 max 3 people from canada that received their FL5 that have been posting online either fb or on this forum

the rest are ghosts... I really thought Canada only got 18 cars so far

So far only vin # under 6xx is affected

That's actually a surprising number. Are there that many more owners not on the forum? Ghosts indeed!

I've had more than 8 cars/chances to purchase if I'm willing to pay 80k+

Right, and the other 71?? If they're all being marked up, complaining about ADM would be more pronounced.

That's 79 under vin # 6xx
The 8 units that I came thru 3 or 4 of them are higher than vin# 6xx

Anyone want my ITS allocation for $80K lol...... message me if interested haha.

Well, I am one of the lucky ones in Ontario that got a car in November and my VIN is in the single digits so I assume my car is affected. Funny enough I haven’t had the rattle issues. I thought there was a noise issue a month or so ago but turns out my plastic garage door opener clipped to my sun visor was vibrating, lol. Sorry I haven’t posted more, been busy with a house move and work. I hope more cars come to Canada soon so more people can get a car.

Mentioned the recall to my dealer, he said he didn't receive any word or updates regarding it yet. This wait time is kind of entertaining anyway lmao

If your vin # is over 6xx digit at the last 3 digit, you shouldn’t be worry
According to our friend from the states, so far vin # end before 6xx is affected, after that there is no recall

i think we only saw 2 cars in BC being sold as used by dealers for 70k+ everyone else either was told cars sold out or dealer not getting as many and the few we know off that got theirs weren't in it to flip...are you talking about the US or Canada

Canada, not the states.

interesting, don't think I came across any FL5s for sale besides the one in BC for 71k at the moment....mind expanding on how you came across 8 cars that were up for sale
