Is Honda aware of the problems with the CVT Honda Jazz's driveshaft?

I recall reading about vibrations from the driveshaft on the CVT automatic Honda Jazz. Is this a problem that Honda is aware of?

It may be the electromagnetic clutch, or it may need a change of transmission fluid, which is necessary every two or three years anyway. Or it may simply be that the transmission fluid is low.
