Took my subframe off when doing my lower arm bushings upgrade. Should have just fixed this myself. If it can be done without dropping the subframe and redoing my alignment that’d be delightful.

I wish all the dealer will do that. They should follow Honda advice

I just got the letter in the mail for my 24 FL5 today. I was waiting for that before doing anything because the car drives fine and I (like many others here) was not a fan of the first repair procedure involving the dealer dropping the subframe. Like others mentioned, the procedure was changed in the updated TSB from 10/18 to not require dropping the subframe. The TSB was updated a few times after that, and these are the changes from what I can tell:

• October 22
  • Added a separate warranty claim item for Type Rs with the Type R-specific part number that failed.
• October 25
  • Added a note that dealers may use the previous method because of the limited supply of the kit needed to do the new method.
• November 1
  • Honda forbids dealers from using the previous method. Also requires that they send any kits used for the previous method back to Honda if they still have them in stock.

So, I guess that means since November 1st all recalls must be done with the new procedure.

For those interested, I've attached the different versions of the TSB.

I already have Spoon rigid collars installed. In the event I get this recall done and they drop my subframe, I would hope they know how to put the collars back in properly...

Read above. They are not dropping the subframe anymore. They haven’t since the procedure changed back on 10/18.

Honda changed the procedure on 10/18, but allowed dealers to still use the old procedure temporarily since the kit for the new procedure was in limited supply. As of 11/1 Honda no longer allows dealers to use the old procedure, so if you get the recall done they won't drop the subframe. If they do, go right to the service manager with a copy of the TSB saying they're not allowed to do that. Authorized dealers HAVE to follow the procedures dictated by Honda, especially for recalls.
