VTC Actuator noise, 2014 Honda Accord, I am original purchaser.

Hello, I actually work with a Honda dealership right now. I can tell you that the VTC actuator does repair the noise. There is a service bulletin that addresses it and repairs it. The problem is, is it covered by American Honda? Under any kind of Honda paid coverage? The answer is: there is a time limit as to what Honda will cover. If you are beyond that time limit, you will not have coverage. This is where "goodwill" comes into play. This is where loyalty to your local dealership comes into play. I only say this is somebody who does this every day. If you are loyal to your dealership for parts and service repairs and maintenance, you can ask them to go to bat for you with Honda to help you out. If you are not loyal, you won't get help. Simple as that. I hate to say it, but the honest truth is, people who are loyal to American Honda dealerships will get help.
