Rough idle, power loss. Sparkplug was fouled and engine burning oil. Diagnostics revealed a recall that hadn't been notified. Software updated and sparkplug replaced with instructions to return in 1000 miles for further diagnostics. After 1000 miles, I only had a routine change, diagnostics we're ok. I was told there is likely an issue with rings that will have to be replaced eventually but Honda is suggesting they will absorb or share the repair costs and comp a rental.
