Is the a across the board ( improvement procedure) recall or do you have to call?

Who's getting the official letter from Honda regarding the heat issue. I registered a complaint, calling back twice and being reassured I'll get a notice...guess what...no notice has graced my mail box yet. Anyone else??

Received my letter Monday September 11th I was taking my 2016 pionerr 1000 in for its 100 service and dealer is doing the heat shield also. Thanks Honda for listening to your customers.

My dealer said that he had to have the pioneer before he would order the kit. He would have the pioneer for a couple of weeks. Be thankful you have a good dealer!!!

Hmm, I left a voicemail to the service manager at my dealer before I got my letter and apparently he just ordered mine, called me back today asking when I wanted to bring it in to have it installed because he had it for me.

I never got a letter but my dealer said they would order the kit and install it when they did my clutch update.

That sucks. My dealer ordered kit and will call to schedule the work when I asked him about scheduling to get it done while I wait (over an hour drive 1 way) he said He knew it would be inconvenient for me but if I could leave it overnight they would work it in between other jobs otherwise they are booked 2 1/2 -3 weeks out...Ill' be good with the extra trip.

Got the letter today, after I took it to the shop for another issue (see my thread under shop talk). Guess I'll call tomorrow and see if they can get this done while it's there.

Sure hope it works for ya! It unfortunately looks like a BS attempt by Honda, where the the bilge fan method would have really worked. I'll bet they don't have $10 invested in all that rubber. Probably cost them more to package it up.

I hope it works. Would rather have a fix that doesn't require power or subject to mechanical failure.

I didn't get the letter but my dealer gave me the kit to install when I picked up my rear soft window assy.

 

[elkaholic]

Never got it .... :-(

Haven't seen or heard anything as of yet either.

I just installed the DEI aftermarket kit with the fan. We rode the trails today at Hawk pride park in AL. The thermostat has a temp gauge in it. Temps while climbing hills locked in low crawling ran 150 F . Then the fan came on. The fan would not allow the temps to get over 150F. But it’s still to hot. I am going to try and relocate the temperature sending unit from the recommend location to a hotter location. Because the fan should turn on sooner and run longer. The factory fan on the radiator turns on at 130F under seat temp. If the add on fan turned on at that temp then you would have no problem I would think. With my 2 piece windshield no doors and slow driving the temps are now endurable. 87F air temp today with sun load and 3 people and gear. Tomorrow we are riding again. I will relocate the sensor to a hotter location before we go. The thermostat is set as low as possible now which is 150F. I will let you know how it does.

I moved the temp sender to the plastic hose clamp holder that holds the hose that feeds the head. it just slides underneath. i left the temp setting at 150F. the fan came on as soon as water temp inside the hose hit 150F. The fan started running and never shut off for 3 hours. Heat problem solved. i sat in every seat. It is very pleasant now. still warm but what we all would consider normal. I would let honda put on the heatshields and order the fan kit from DEI. that way you get the brackets and thermostat pre made.

I agree with you, I bought the kit that uses aluminum coated flexible heat shield sheet on EBay. Don’t waste your money on this s***. Looks like Honda’s fix is no better.
