This document provides instructions for sealing oil leakage past the flywheel bolt holes on S13 engines. Oil leaking from behind the crankshaft gear may exit through the flywheel bolt holes and is often misdiagnosed as a rear crankshaft seal leak. This condition is confirmed by oil-saturated flywheel bolts and visible oil pooling in the flywheel bolt holes behind the gear.

Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation public data (complaints, manufacturer communications, investigations), model years 2010 and later. Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA.
In complaints filed with NHTSA for model years 2016–2027, owners most often name: forward collision avoidance, service brakes, engine. 16 complaints are on record.
No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
