Honda CR-V Club Forum: CRV Timing Chain?

Not that I have heard of.

i am in service at a Honda dealer and we dont have any problems with them at all.

and you have a chain not a belt

Yes, I think so.  I have been told by Honda that I have to replace my timing chain, and the timing chain tensioner and timing chain cover, at only 102,000 km (60,000 miles) and a cost of $1,300 plus tax. Strange, since the car has had all its regular maintenance, by Honda, and I bought this vehicle on the understanding that the chain was designed to last the life of the engine.  Does that mean that my engine is also shot? Or is it possibly a misdiagnosis of another problem? Or is it a Honda CRV timing chain and or tensioner problem?
