Description of the problem	A loud grinding noise lasting a few seconds after initial start up after car has been sitting, i. E., a 'cold start.' my honda 2013 crv-ex-l has had this problem from day one, brand new! It's intermittent but happens usually on a cold start. After quite a few visits to dealer they act perplexed and never can duplicate the condition! It actually is the vtc (variable timing control). Honda has had this problem for several years on various models of their vehicles, has never fixed the problem nor contacted affected buyers but has continued to build and sell these vehicles with a known defect with no fix! Their engineers are aware of the problem, but of course the same engineers say it causes "no damage to the vehicle!" shame on honda, it only ruined their reputation! People stare at you and ask "what is that noise?" when you explain, it puts honda and their vehicles in a poor position i. E., loss of reputation and sales. I did intensive investigation on my own, just 'google the problem, and you will be taken to 'you tube' and many other sites showing the problem. Take to the dealer a video and a copy of the numerous complaints on this and other sites! You must prove the problem exists!! I called honda america 2 days ago to complain and found out honda just this year, 2016, finally came out with a 'fix!' it is for the vtc (variable timing control) . My car finally is at the dealer being repaired. Honda knew all along of this problem at least from 2012 through 2014 and even earlier models! A recall should be mandated to make the repair!! Again shame on honda, i personally will never buy a honda automobile again. The frustration, embarrassment, time running back and forth to the dealer, etc. Has worn me out!! Remember their is now a bulletin to honda dealers with a 'fix.' but they must duplicate the problem! Be sure to take a video with sound!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
