There is an aluminum cover that is bolted under the engine (lower engine cover, Honda part 74112-TLA-A01). This cover must be removed in order to change the oil. Twice now the cover has fallen off the engine while driving at highway speeds, causing the driver to have to stop suddenly. The car is then not drivable until the cover is bolted back. This could very easy cause an accident and steering problems. It seems to be a poor design and there are many similar reports on the internet.
