Here is the document.
It's to check the intake funnel clamps to ensure they are

1 - Tight
2 - Threads have been deformed to prevent becoming loose.

The clamps that hold the air horns on inside the airbox are supposed to have the threads deformed to stop them from being able to back off and fall out.

They've seen several thay have been not tightened to the proper spacing and the threads haven't been deformed so they're backing out. This has caused engine failure when they fall into the engine and enter the combustion chamber.

Thanks for the update, HondaTech. Any idea which production years are involved?

All, only certain VINs though i believe
Hope they fired the guy at the plant that was slacking and not crimping the threads after tightening the boots..... Or maybe he used to be the shift cable adjuster guy and got demoted to air box boot clamp tightener and sucks at this job too. 🤣

This is exactly the issue.
Same with the steering knuckle recall on a 40yo design.
Lol.

We have the bulletin, your dealer can do the inspection in 5 minutes.

Yes, but it would be nice if the VIN numbers were available to us mere mortals so as to eliminate the need to schedule with the dealer, hassle with loading the trailer, hauling it there, unloading, etc. if our particular Talon isn't part of the subset.

Guess that's your decision.
But no way I would take mine in for them just to check to see if 2 phillips screw are tight or not.

But if one goes missing honda won't be accepting any blame.
Doubt they would anyways.
