I got mine tensioner serviced on Monday when I went into John Eagle Acura for an unrelated problem. Man what a difference! My car feels more powerful now and the revs are louder. The timing belt must have been real loose before I went in at 27k.

I just got my official notice from Acura. But I already had the tensioner replaced a couple of months ago for my last car's service.

you are good with 2nd gear clutch packs, now the problem moves to 3rd gear clutch packs not getting enough fluid when down shifting

2003 CL VIN no's 19UYA4...3A000001 thru 19UYA4...3A009883

If you have a CL or CL/S with a vehicle identification number that falls into the ranges above you should be recieving notification for t-belt tensioner update .

2002 TL VIN no's 19UUA5...2A052043 thru 19UUA5...2A061706

2003 TL VIN no's 19UUA5...3A000001 thru 19UAA5...3A043888

If you have a TL or TL/S with a vehicle identification number that falls into the ranges above you should be recieving notification for t-belt tensioner update .

Upon receipt of this notice from Acura you should contact your dealer and make arrangements to have the car brought up to spec .Or let them know at your next service visit that you think your car may fall under this update and have them bring the car up to spec as needed .
