Honda Recalls 880,000 SUVs And Pickups For Rear Suspension Failure
Honda is recalling 880,514 vehicles in the United States because rear suspension components could fail and affect vehicle control.
The recall covers certain Honda Pilot, Ridgeline, Passport, and Acura MDX models, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rear subframe could corrode at the suspension mounting points, which can result in rear suspension component failure, including the rear control arm.
If those parts fail, the vehicle may become harder to control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda dealers will inspect the rear subframe and install a reinforcement kit. If technicians find damaged components, they will repair or replace the rear subframe parts as needed. The work will be performed free of charge.
Honda has already started notifying affected owners.
