Honda recall in U. S: Carmakers report problem in over 8,00,000 vehicles New York, New Jersey and other states. Check full list

Honda is recalling more than 8,00,000 vehicles in the US because rear suspension components may fail and cause drivers to lose control, increasing the chances of a crash or injury. The problem centres around the rear subframe, which can corrode at suspension mounting points and cause the rear suspension to fail. Honda estimates that just 1 per cent of the vehicles listed have the defect. Honda has had no warranty claims and no reports of an injury or death related to the problem.

American Honda Motor Co. said the recall covers certain 2016-2022 Honda Pilot, 2017-2023 Ridgeline, 2019-2023 Passport and 2014-2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall includes 880,514 vehicles that were sold in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin.

As a remedy, Honda and Acura dealers will inspect the rear subframe and install a reinforcement kit if necessary, or repair or replace the rear subframe components at no cost to vehicle owners.


Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7.
