Just got my truck back from the dealer (actually the wife did) after one full week in the shop.
Long story short, I found significant water in my RL after being parked in my driveway for extended periods of time. Damaged a recently built sub-box as it was soaked through as well.
Shop took in truck, recognized TSB and indicated that this was the first to come in, and proceeded to find what my wife says were "many leaks, both front and back".
I have not been back to see the truck as I have been travelling, but from what I can tell, the dealer took time and care is addressing the issue.
With more rain in NorCal recently, the truck is susceptible to more leaks if they were not repaired, so I will know more this weekend when I get home as to whether the issue was fixed or not.
I leased the truck, thankfully, as I am waiting for the rumored V8 in the future. While the RL accelerates from a standstill pretty quickly, high speed passing does not come close to matching my F150...so I am very interested in V8 power. I am also not seeing any improvement in mileage over my Ford (maybe 1.5MPG max), so feel that switching to a V8 when Honda releases one, will be an easy decision with no downsides...
