Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear frame could rust.

In extreme cases, this could result in a rear trailing arm separating from the vehicle.

This recall applies to vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).

Safety Risk: A rear trailing arm that separates could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail.

Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the rear trailing arm front mount bolts.

If the vehicle passes the inspection, the dealer will apply corrosion protection and install support braces.

Honda will offer to repurchase vehicles that do not pass the inspection.

In the event the repurchase is declined by an owner, a secondary inspection and body shop repair method may be possible.
