Honda Recalls Over 880,000 Vehicles in U.S. to Fix Rear Suspension Failure Risk

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) disclosed that American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 880,514 vehicles in the United States due to a potential failure risk in rear suspension components. The recall covers the 2016–2022 Honda Pilot, 2017–2023 Honda Ridgeline, 2019–2023 Honda Passport, and 2014–2020 Acura MDX. The affected vehicles may experience rear suspension component failures, such as fractures in the rear control arms, which could lead to loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of crashes and injuries. As a remedy, authorized dealers will inspect the rear subframes and install reinforcement kits free of charge for owners. Honda estimates that approximately 1% of the recalled vehicles are affected by this defect. To date, the company has received no warranty claims related to this issue and no reports of injuries or fatalities associated with it.
