Acura service bulletin b18-014 (NHTSA TSB #10135108) the repeated failure of the driver’s power seat height-adjustment mechanism due to stripped internal gears in the vertical transmission assembly (vta), as identified in Acura service bulletin b18-014, presents a significant safety concern. A failure of the driver’s seat adjustment mechanism can prevent the driver from maintaining a proper and secure seating position, potentially impairing visibility, access to the pedals and steering wheel, and the ability to safely control the vehicle. Because Honda/Acura has documented this failure and identified a specific repair procedure, I believe the defect warrants investigation by NHTSA and consideration for a safety recall rather than leaving affected owners responsible for repairs. Despite the Acura bulletin and recommended repairs, marysville Honda in ohio is recommending a $5700 repair bill inconsistent with the Acura bulletin.
