2010 RA Sportback Timing Chain

So yesterday my wife was driving the car and the Engine System Required light came one (Timing chain light) I looked around for a TSB on it because I know there is one for the evo something about reset the chain value. Has anyone run into this? It has just over 20k, stock, oil changes ever 3k. I beat the hell out of my 08 Evo X and never gotten a light.

I think that light is in reference to the chain stretching. I'd get that figured out, as its one sure way of locking up the engine and costing mucho dinero.

Well, the car is under warranty. And if it comes down to it, I'd replace it. $200 for timing/oil change. I changed mine on my evo, twice. But this is why I leave the wifes car stock, so I don't have to do the work.

I found the TSB for it, so I'm not taking no for an answer lol.

Happened to me at 9,000 miles.

The dealer will fix it, no questions asked.
