My dealer told me it is for all NT's on the sales floor or still in crates, and if a customer complains of the symtoms, then it will be done for them also. The parts had been ordered for mine before I bought it. So mine was done when the parts came in. Sounds to me like a quite recall.From what I understood from the service manager, it was for all NT's. The alert came up on his computer as I checked it in for the 600 mile service. I can't say with all certainty that it is universal, but you may want to check...
Maybe HondaLynn would be kind enough to let us know.
Jim,Jeff, you are right. I was going about 40 mph and the engine light came on and the engine was stalling. I called my dealer this morning and he told me there is a Honda notice that is for spark the plug cover and he said it sounds like the same problem. Since he is a hybrid dealership he had trouble finding it because it is only on the Honda website and not listed as a recall just a notice. He serviced an NT for the same problem last week and the notice covered it. I take it in on Saturday and let you know what he says and see if I can get the reference number of the Honda notice. Thanks for your help.
Jeff, I just talked to my service manager and he said he hadn't heard of it. Would you see if you can get the number of the service bulletin? If you can, my guy asked me to email it to him.From what I understood from the service manager, it was for all NT's. The alert came up on his computer as I checked it in for the 600 mile service.

Phil,Jeff, I just talked to my service manager and he said he hadn't heard of it. Would you see if you can get the number of the service bulletin? If you can, my guy asked me to email it to him.
Thanks!
Taking my NT in for the first service work this weekend. I mentiond the service bulletin and they had not heard of it. They said they would run my vin number to see if it pulls up the bulletin. Going to call them back on Thursday to see what they find. I have the feeling they have not serviced very many NT's which is probably not surprising. They said the service was just and oil change and I could wait for it to be done. I had to tell them about the valve check and then it was a different story. They will need it overnight. They also said they will need to order new head gaskets.Phil,
In looking at my receipt, it just lists Spark Plug Cap Update, part #30700-MEW-922. 2 Cap Assy. Warranty. It didn't list a specific service bulletin number. I called the service department and this is what they pulled up:
Service Bulletin info: "NT700V/A #1 December 2010. Honda Template NT01. Noise Suppression Cap Assembly.
I hope this helps.

Firsts of all I hope they mean valve cover or head cover gasket. One does not really want them taking the head off. Probably a precaution if they ruin one, taking the covers of. With that said I have never replace one on my ST in 90k miles. By using a bit of blue RTV, My valve cover gaskets have sealed up nicely.Warren, my dealership has done two services and adjusted the valves both times. They never showed head gaskets as parts that had been replaced.
What say the rest of you?
