Like 4 others on NHTSA, I am reporting intermittent cold start rattle coming from the vtc actuator. I have tried the following: cleaning the intake valves, changing the oil every 3k miles, using a high quality oil filter with a silicone drain back valve, and using top tier fuel on every fuel up. 2015-2016 Honda Fits have a TSB regarding this issue, and my 2017 Honda Fit also has this issue. @hondamotorcompany, please right this design defect by releasing a TSB. I recommend replacing the vtc actuator (part#:14310-5r1-013), cam chain (part#:14401-5k9-004), cam chain tensioner arm (part#:14520-5r0-003) and cam chain tensioner (part#:14510-5r1-003). Thank you. Related to complaint NHTSA id numbers: 11518951, 11507525, 11455247, and 11431811.
