Hello

Could anyone who knows how Honda's TSB (Technical Service Bulletin)
system works in US answer the following question?

I see that Honda's TSB Database is at least partially available at NHTSA
Web site. However, my Honda dealer is unable to find some documents that
I see through NHTSA database in their "official" TSB database (they call
it IRIS or something like that). Does anybody know what is this TSB data
available from NHTSA site? How official is it? And if it is official, is
there any way to establish the correspondence between NHTSA database
documents and TSB's used at Honda dealerships?

The NHTSA keeps track of recalls, not TSB's. Honda issues TSB's from
time to time, and auto repair professionals can subscribe to these
through AllData (and I am sure other companies as well). Honda prohibits
the publishing of TSBs to individuals. You can go to
http://www.hondalac.com/service/Bulletins/x01-054e.pdf (tweak to
"x01-54e" part to the TSB number you are looking for) to find many of
the Honda TSB's. On this web site they are called ESB, rather than TSB
(it is a non-US web site) but the numbers correspond to the TSB numbers
on those that I have had a chance to check.
