took mine in today, went out of the way to buy an amazon gift card and tried asking to see if I could talk to the technician beforehand to give it to him/her... but they didn't seem too keen on letting me do that for whatever reason. can only hope they don't scuff the hell out of it.
My plan as well but won’t disclose the gc until I talk w them. Scratch and pvc tape everywhere. Got my notice today as well.

I had mine done today. Service rep called and told me it was complete, but they did scratch the sill during the repair. Already ordered me a new one and will put it on as soon as it comes in.

This entire thread is a worst nightmare come true, at least to us enthusiasts who are anal about their cars.

Simply put: unbelievable.

for reference. I also quickly filmed my seats at the time of drop off. which in hindsight i could've done a better job by showing the dealership in the shot. but it is timestamped and they timestamped me dropping off the car so...

This is crazy. I have one of the earliest cars out there, my seat squeaks like crazy and I haven’t been given a notice.

Ugh, Im sorry you are dealing w that. Did you share your concern with the service rep before hand or talk with anyone?

With all the stories on here the first thing I did was talk w the service rep and then gift carded the tech. It sounds insane but goes a long way and recognizes that the tech gets hosed on the tsb.

There is a link to the tsb out there where you can enter your vin to see if its in scope. I found out through the mail before I received an email from Honda.

I have the opposite problem. My seat doesn't squeak at all and I got a notice 😂

i did but the service rep that i normally deal with wasnt there today. I expressed the concern to the rep that took over but i dont think he realized what i was talking about at the time. however i did bring it up to him at the time of delivery when i went to go look at the car and showed him the damage as well so he had me document it, send it to my service rep and he said he'll have to bring it up to their manager to have it replaced.

i had a notice and my seat didnt squeak until one day two weeks ago where i brought the car up into the canyon and didnt have any radio to listen to. i started to notice the squeek which then pushed me over the edge to have the rail fixed.

Nice, at least they are being accountable.
