I am sure that there are many official service bulletins since 2007 and we only have 3 of them. If someone can post them here, it would be useful in case it's needed as a proof to a dealer for a potential part change under guarantee. Please enlighten us!:)
(I am not sure if it is illegal to do so...Pottsy is it?)

I'm in total agreement that it would be ideal if we had the pdf for each bulletin but if this isn't possible a list of the bulletin titles and their relevant dates would be a start. At least then we could alert the dealer to the fact that a bulletin exists and then maybe help them resolve the known fault.

It's interesting to read that common faults are not alway resolved at the first visit eg my service manager told me that the noise in the sub-frame was caused by dust and to cure the problem they had to clean the dust and re-torque the bolts. It stopped for a few days but will need another attempt to resolve.

Well if it isn't allowed for us to find them then we should just know the bulletin titles and the release date.
Someone with access to a dealer's information would just share this.

Mine is a 08 LHD UK spec with 25000km on it. The last month I have increase road noise and car pulls to the left. I did a calibration but results are the same. A tire specialist told me that my tires are defective. Michelin pilot primacy 225/45/r17. Is there any bulletin for those?

Mine are the same tyres.

I'm told that although the rear tracking is within spec, it is on the outside limits on my car. The rear is not adjustable though and consequently the tyres have worn in what was described as a stepped/feathered way. This has caused excessive road noise, which the service centre proved by putting the rear tyres on the front so the road noise now comes from the front of the car.

The service centre is currently looking into the issue with Honda.

Very interesting, I'm sure this is also a problem for the UK model.

A couple of months ago, I noticed the offside front tyre was wearing inconsistently and as a result, probably illegal. The nearside looked borderline, but again uneven. Anyway, I went to a tyre specialist and requested 2 new tyres.

I returned to the tyre place having left it with them, and it turns out I need all 4 replaced! They described the problem as 'feathering', and yes, they were not exaggerating. With the tyres off, there was clearly a problem.

This was around the 26,000 miles mark. Original tyres were the Pilot Primacy, which I assume were the original set (bought car at about 12,000 miles). The tyre specialist only had 1 pair of Michelin Pilot Sports rather than the 2 pairs I needed. To avoid waiting a couple of days, on their advice I opted for Bridgestone RE50As. So far, I am happy with the Bridgestones, but given the Civic and it's issues, I fear the tyres will end up the same way.

Funnily enough, whilst mine were being done, a newer Civic came in. Same problem, although not as bad as mine, so they only needed the fronts replacing.

I wonder if the upside down rear shocks (rectified at 2nd service, after 20,000 miles) and the front bump stop problems might have had any influence on the excessive and uneven wear and tear?

I've not so far mentioned it to Honda or my dealer, but I am extremely unhappy.
