Description of the problem	On cold startups there is a grinding noise coming from the engine compartment which lasts for a few seconds. The grinding noise is heard usually after the car is left idle overnight & does not occur on an everyday basis. My mechanic identified it as the vtc actuator (cam} & should be taken care of before it shuts down the engine & then it becomes an expensive engine overhaul. I have taken it to the honda service dept.(2 places) & told it must be verified to be replaced. The trouble is when i leave the car it doesn't happen, as i said it happens randomly. Honda knows of this problem (bulletin:09-010) but refuses to replace the part without verification. I believe it's unreasonable to leave my vehicle for a long length of time & go without transportation. I even recorded the sound & honda won't accept that. My warranty is running out by the end of this year & i'm afraid this will not be addressed. My vehicle has 33340 miles on it, well below the 60000 mile of ending the warranty but the 5 year mark is approaching. I have read on the honda crv owners club (www. Crvownersclub. Com) site that the problem exists in many vehicles with the 2. 4l engine. There is also a bulletin with an improved part to correct this but verification of each vehicle is necessary. Please help, i believe this is a safety condition as the car can shut down even while driving and the driver then has no control whatsoever of the vehicle. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
