Description of the problem	I noticed a rattling noise during cold starts from the engine that continued well into the summer. I reported it to my honda dealer (bill page/falls church, va) and referred to the well documented vtc actuator problem reported on the internet based on video and audio similarities in the noises i was hearing. The dealer being aware of the problem refrained from any investigation or correction until they received a corrective solution from honda. I reported the problem to honda america and the dealer later in 2015 after my honda dealer technician reptd no solution has come from honda. I received a call from honda regarding my complaint suggesting the vtc actuator problem is limited to alaska and i should make an appointment with my dealer to investigate. As a result to a switch to synthetic oil at the dealer the noise seems to have gone. Unfortunately this does not guarantee the original problem has not damaged the engine or won't reappear if i decide to return to conventional oil. The official position by honda vs. The dealer seems to promote a stand-off to compensate for a lack of a fully reliable solution in that the dealer is told not to initiate repairs for this problem until a solution is distributed by honda while honda claims the problem is not universal and is trying to minimize its scope; leaving consumers in the middle trying to make their crvs or other model hondas reliable while still under warranty. I will continue pursuit of a fix with honda america but feel nhtsa should pressure honda to address this well known and publicized fault with some sort of permanent fix. For a manufacturer who claims their vehicles are highly reliable honda apparent deception regarding this problem needs to be addressed and i hope nhtsa forces this action to occur. I also provided nhtsa with a copy of my 7/25/15 letter to american honda.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
