Service bulletin - After the software update, some vehicles, based on how they are driven (extreme conditions), may still experience ATF deterioration after updating the PGM-FI or A/T system and the shudder may return. The problem is typically diagnosedas a bad Torque Converter (TC). There is no damage to the TC, but because the ATF has deteriorated, it needs to be changed even though the "ATF Service Due" message has not appeared. Make sure the vehicle is updated by referring to the INSPECTION PROCEDURE.

Servicenews article - The area where the lower dashboard meets the A-pillar base has sealer that's applied by automation. But because that automation can't reach every nook and cranny, someone must then spread the sealer with a small squeegee. This can result in pin holes in the sealer or the sealer even being pulled away from the area. Under wet conditions, this can cause water leakage onto the front floorboard on the driver's and/or front passenger's side.
