What owners wrote
#3 exhaust valve burned and chipped on my 1999 crv. 98,000 miles, perfect service history. Understanding is that this is a common event on this model. Engine rebuild required to correct problem.
Consumer stated that his 1999 crv has the same problems as stated in TSB 03-038. ***nar*** the TSB was for poor engine performance due to exhaust valves receding into the cylinder heads. The consumer feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for replacing the faulty parts.
