| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2017 honda crv-ex with the 1. 5 turbo engine in november 2017 and plan to give this car to my niece as a graduation present in 2019. I took it for its first oil change, at 137 miles, and the dealer told me that there was gasoline in the oil. After the oil change, i researched the issue and discovered that many people (2017 honda crv owners with the 1. 5 turbo engine) in the usa had this problem. The details are listed in the honda forums and on edmunds. I also saw that honda was recalling 350k 2017-2018 crvs with the 1. 5 turbo engine , in china, as the software needed to be updated. It appears that the fuel ejectors were supplying too much gasoline and the residual gasoline was leaking around the cylinders into the oil. I requested honda-usa to get access to this software update via my local dealer (boch honda west in westford, ma). It is my understanding that the software update is available. Honda-usa sent me a response indicating that there was no recall on my vehicle and i should go back to the dealer. I have called the dealer, again, but they cannot do much without the software update. I told honda-usa that this problem is very concerning for the future of the engine reminded them that their dealer found the problem of gasoline in the engine and that both i and the dealer were concerned. My case number with honda is 07116734. Some of the web sites (links) that further define the problem ate as follow: 1) https://www. Reuters.
