Lots of brand new info from Pre Delivery Inspection doc; esp. on battery replacement

This is where they're supposed to be?

 

Thanks. Will check with the dealership.

 

My dealer just informed me that the Body Plugs are back ordered at Honda, so it's going to take awhile to get mine. I wonder if taping over the holes in the meantime will accomplish anything?

 

Back ordered -- meaning loads of dealers have been just throwing them away and not installing them :-(

 

Woo hoo already installed on my car, will check the wife's when she gets home.

 

Wife's car has the plugs as well, we did get both cars from the same dealer.

 

Hello all, just when you thought you had heard it all about the 'plugs'. Took it to the dealer to fix the HV mileage(success), A-pillar rattle(so-far-so-good) and put in the 4 body plugs. Got home and looked more at the invoice and saw "missing plugs, installed 5 plugs in rear of car". ??5?? I went out and checked the 4 holes we have been talking about and sure enough, no rubber plugs. After a call with the somewhat confused service guy I am going back by tomorrow for, supposedly, the correct plugs. Hard to be too mad at the guy, he gets back to me quickly and doesn't guess, if he doesn't know he says so and he finds out(rare today). He said they will install them as soon as I get there so I don't have to wait. Question is does anyone else not have these plugs? Maybe these holes in the back do not have plugs normally and the tech saw the holes and just starting putting plugs in without looking at the PDI document(I am afraid this is probably what it is) for where the plug should go. These is nothing in the PDI about any other plugs so these hole plugs would have to be a factory task. Anyway here is a photo of the back part of the car where I assume the new plugs are, I do not have a 'before' photo.

 

Funny, we bought two Clarities too! We had to go to two separate dealers because in Ontario, Canada, the inventory is non-existant.

 

Wish I would have seen this sooner. Took delivery one week ago today, and no plugs... Service Center has been called...

 

Now I are worried the dealer is just putting plugs in random holes. I would love it if someone would hold their phone under the trunk area and snap a picture and see if the holes plugged in my photo have plugs in your car(s).

 

Just found this thread and looks like mine (bought end of April, been in for minor services three times) is also missing the plugs. Thanks for pointing them out. Would think the dealer would've noticed that in their supposed point inspection of the car each time it is in...

 

Please vote in the poll about the plugs here. Thanks.

I'm sure the only person looking for those plugs is the technician doing the pre-delivery inspection. It's not like checking to be sure they put all 4 wheels back on before lowering the lift after maintenance operations.

 

This topic paid off for me: took delivery of our Clarity last week and I saw the plugs were missing. The charger was also still in the original wrapper, so they obviously did not check its functionality (another step on the Pre-Delivery checklist).

Other stuff all looked good, tho, and we have really been enjoying driving around town electrically!

 

Bad lighting and maybe looking at the wrong holes; mine does actually have four plugs when I went to take pictures with a flash.

 

My dealer didnt charge mine at all. One thing good about that was i had to drive 60 miles on mostly gas. So the gas engine got a head start on the break in. Hahaha.

 

Just went to honda and them check if the noise reduction plugs were ever installed.. They wherent so they ordered them. Crazy? Thanks for info
