Who's getting the official letter from Honda regarding the heat issue. I registered a complaint, calling back twice and being reassured I'll get a notice...guess what...no notice has graced my mail box yet. Anyone else??

I actually just called the dealership I purchased mine from and asked for the kit they said it'll be here in about a week. Haven't received a letter yet.

called my dealer and he was well aware of the issue. He set me up an appointment without letter and said they would take care of me.

Sure hope it works for ya! It unfortunately looks like a BS attempt by Honda, where the the bilge fan method would have really worked. I'll bet they don't have $10 invested in all that rubber. Probably cost them more to package it up.

I can't really complain. It was free and I haven't had much of an issue with heat since I put my own heat shield under the seat. I think the radiator deflector for 2017 really helped with the hot dash and this should block the heat through the seat belt slots. Unlike a lot of people on here, I bought this thing to have fun and get dirty. I don't run a windshield and I don't putt around drinking beer.

Got my letter this weekend. It said to give them a couple weeks to get parts in and then call the dealer for an appointment. With the weather cooling off here in Michigan I'm probably going to wait until I take it over to have the tracks put on for the first time when snow flies.

Received a letter today. My '17 looks to have most of those parts installed from the factory and I added a heat sheild for good measure. I didn't really notice the heat anyway before or after heat sheild.
