If you would be so kind to take photos of the areas around snorkel you describe contribute to the problem it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The upper side panel removed to provide visibility to the air filter snorkel intake, please see attached photos illustrating the open, unsealed areas into the the wheel well and roll cage horizontal and vertical member. Excessive open, unprotected unsealed areas where dirt/dust are sucked into the air intake snorkel. Air supply to the snorkel should come from upper vented area of the rear cab region NOT from the wheel well, undercarriage areas.
This is a serious concern, resulting in premature loading of foreign material (dust, dirt, debris) into the air intake filtering system. [re: filter loading pictures] Predictable result will be premature engine failure. Please ask Honda to address this deficiency immediately by providing seals to close the wheel well/shock suspension equipment and frame assemblies open areas. Desired result is clean air from the atmosphere, NOT dust laden dirty air from the lower body area.
