Driving in to work earlier this week my check engine light came on. I checked the code and it is P2422 (Evap canister vent shut valve close malfunction).

After some research, I found that there is a service bulletin on this (08-052).

With 67,000 miles on the car, would this be covered for repair under the TSB? Is there a warranty/mileage restriction on TSBs? Is it dealer discretion?

I'm going to call and ask the dealer later today, but I figured I'd throw this out to all of you first and see what everyone thinks. Thanks in advance.

 

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
In warranty: The normal warranty applies.
Operation Number: 1200A1
Flat Rate Time: 0.3 hour
Failed Part: P/N 17743-TA0-A01
Defect Code: 05401
Symptom Code: 03203
Template ID: 08-052B
Skill Level: Repair Technician

Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty
expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by
the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone
Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.

 

So it looks to be a 15-20 minute job plus the part. Since the TSB mentions out of warranty, it sounds like there is a good chance of getting this covered but you must request the goodwill repair and get approval prior to the dealer starting work.

 

Dealer said covered! Nice! Dropped it off tonight and now I have an RDX loaner. Not bad for what it is, but I can't wait until I get the car back. Thanks for the replies!
