TSB in Canada for the TL?

Does anyone know of a site to get technical service bulletins in Canada? Apperently the ones listed in the forum are specific to the US and that the Canadian dealers tend not to honour them.

I'm curious because I am below 20% oil life left and need to go in for service soon.

My three issues are:
1. Brembo break squeal at low speed
2. Memory seat loss
3. Alignment slightly off (not a TSB issue, but I thought I would list it).

Thanks.

I inquired about #2 and told the dealer that there was a bulliten out there. I dunno why they can't check the american system but they don't. He told me there was no bulliten and that they checked my seats (with the key fob) for an hour and it worked fine.

That doesn't help me when every other week or so I have to manually reset my seats. So I guess all you can do is wait.

If you do get it fixed I'd like to know about it!

I'll let you know SS, but if they tell me there is no TSB, I won't have them waste their time pressing buttons. I doubt that the memory problem will occur while they service the car, so what's the point. I'm going to ask them to check the software level on my TL and flash it if it is not the most recent. They will probably laugh me off, but it may be worth a try.

If you go to Downtown Acura they will automatically change the seat memory module. I guess they know about it.

Really? Maybe I'll go to them then. My dealer was useless in this matter. It's the only problem I've had with the TL and it happens so seldom that I thought I could just wait it out. But if they'll just replace it without asking me to jump through hoops I'll just go there.

Has this problem re-occured with people who've had the module replaced?

It only happened twice within the last 2 months for me. I just mentioned it when they did the transmission thing and they replaced the module without questions. No problems since. Great service makes all the difference.

Well, I talked to a service manager that knew about #2. Sterne Acruca in Aurora said this is an issue that they can fix, so it looks like they are starting to get some information from Acura Canada.

The brakes he said were 'normal' though and there is nothing that he can do about it, which is too bad. They will look at the alignment for me as well.

Let's hope they manage to get it all fixed. August 20th is my service date.
