Honda is recalling more than 800,000 vehicles in the United States because of potential issues with rear suspension components. These components may fail and cause drivers to lose control of the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of crashes or injuries.

The recall affects certain models including the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot, 2017-2023 Ridgeline, 2019-2023 Passport, and 2014-2020 Acura MDX. Specifically, 880,514 vehicles 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, and Wisconsin are included in the recall.

The problem is linked to the rear subframe, which can corrode at suspension mounting points. This corrosion may lead to rear suspension failure. Honda estimates this defect exists in approximately 1% of the affected vehicles.

Currently, there are no warranty claims, injuries, or deaths reported related to this issue. As a solution, Honda and Acura dealers will inspect the rear subframe of these vehicles. If needed, they will install a reinforcement kit or repair or replace the rear subframe components at no cost to vehicle owners.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by July 7. The recall is filed under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s campaign number 26V367000. Honda’s internal recall numbers are AOU and AOT. Affected Vehicle Identification Numbers will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting June 10.
