Honda launches major recall in the US

More than 880,000 vehicles recalled for suspension defects.

Honda Motor Company is recalling over 880,000 vehicles in the US due to problems with rear suspension system, according to the country’s National Highway Traffic Safety ⁠Administration (NHTSA).

The Japanese company’s local subsidiary, American Honda Motor Company, confirmed that it is recalling the vehicles because of a problem with the rear suspension systems, in which components may fail after time and cause drivers to lose control of the vehicle, potentially causing a crash.

The recall affects Honda Pilot models sold between 2016 and 2022; Honda Passport models sold between 2019 and 2023; Honda Ridgeline models sold between 2017 and 2023; and Acura MDX models sold between 2014 and 2020.

The problem relates to the rear subframe of the suspension systems, which can corrode at the mounting points over time, potentially causing the rear suspension to fail. The automaker estimates that just 1% of the vehicles listed have the defect, and that there have been no reports of injuries or deaths as a result of this problem.

Owners are being invited to bring their vehicles to dealers for an inspection and to have a reinforcement kit installed or the rear subframe components repaired or replaced, if necessary.
