Q: This morning in your column was a question concerning a 2011 Acura RDX clock error. I believe it has a GPS navigation system. On Jan. 1, 2022, the GPS time reverted back to 2002. GPS time is calculated in epochs, starting from a known date and going forward 1024 weeks. If the RDX clock is 1 hour off, my recommendation is leave it. Doing a manual reset of the clock time does not work. Also, if the battery gets disconnected, the clock will really act crazy. My 2010 Crosstour clock is now 1 hour, 14 minutes slow. The clock should self-correct in August.

A: Thanks to you, and other alert readers who pointed out this snafu. It slipped below — way below — my radar. This isn’t the first time I got a question about time to which I provided an untimely answer. I will try harder next time.
