To have that coming from Honda... Wow... I just gotta say I am really surprised...
Yes, engine cooling temps. No limp mode but the gauge creeps up to the H limit pretty quick apparently. Throw the heater on and it goes down. People are speculating that it may be a kinked hose or something tied to the cooling system. The trans cooler is linked to the rest of the cooling system so it may be overworking it. Honda knows about it and is now gathering data from the test mules(people that have purchased the car already).

One reason I never buy the first year of a new vehicle. Let the hype kings work out the bugs then buy it a couple years later once the manufacturer has worked out the issues.
