Carbon Buildup with Misfire DTCs. Honda published a service bulletin but is refusing to cover the necessary repair. We are paying out of pocket for the known issue that they have extended warranty coverage on for some other VINs but refuse to cover this one.

While driving multiple error lights came on. I took my car in and they said it was carbon build up due to "bad gas." They cleaned it and it has been working fine. However, this is an acknowledged problem with the 2018 and 2019 Honda Fit. Honda actually extended the warranty for those years to cover those repairs. My car only had 22156 miles on it. And the error I experienced is the exact error that was reported to happen with the 2018 and 2019 models, however I was told my car was not covered because it's a 2020 model. I feel they should have to cover this error in the 2020 model, as well.

Over the summer, vehicle lit up all warning lights. Like many others was informed the system needed deep carbon cleaning. There is a tsb for this problem but Honda corporate said it is regular maintenance and warranty does not cover. I have owned the car since January. If other years are covered, why not the 20?
