Engine cover grommets pulled out and 1 lost
 
Be careful when you remove the engine cover. Apparently, the rubber grommets that hold the front of the cover pulled loose and I lost one completely. I didn't realize that I had only one securing it in the front. When I checked the oil yesterday and attempted to put the cover back on, it fit funny. I peered down into the engine compartment and retrieved one grommet at least. The other is probably on the beltway. I'll visit the dealer and get a couple spares now.

I may lightly lube the inside of the grommets with silicone so the cover pins don't grab the grommets so hard.

Anyone else had this happen?

There is a TSB on this and they will replace them under warranty.

They've changed the replacements so they don't fall out. You probably don't need spares.

TSBs
 
Thanx. Where do you all find those TSBs? Are they posted online?
