It is annoying more than destructive, but Honda revised the actuator and covered many replacements under TSBs. Fix is a new actuator. Labor-heavy because the timing chain must come off. Honda TSB A18-010 and related bulletins. Typical cost: $600-$1,100 out of warranty. 4 more issues are reported in other 2013-2017 years: CVT torque-converter judder / shudder (2013-2015 (most reports)); Starter grinds at startup / early starter failure (2013-2015); Electric power steering (EPS) torque sensor, warranty extension (2013-2015); Hybrid: dead 12V auxiliary battery strands the car (2014-2015, 2017 (hybrid)).
