Honda vehicle recalls: complete list of models including Odyssey, Pilot, Acura...

Honda is recalling nearly 250,000 vehicles due to a part defect resulting from improper settings of manufacturing equipment. During the production of the crankshaft used in the recalled vehicles the crank pin was improperly ground leaving their shape outside of the specification ranges.

This defect can cause the connecting rod bearing to prematurely wear and seize, which in turn can damage the engine. Engines may run improperly, stalling, stopping while being driven, “increasing the risk of a fire, crash or injury.”

As of 3 November, Honda says that it has received 1,450 warranty claims, but there are “no reports of injuries or deaths related to this issue,” according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Owners will be contacted by mail starting 2 January 2024. They will be asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer where an inspection, and if necessary, repairs will be performed or the engine will be replaced, all free of charge. Any owners who have already paid to have repairs done due to the manufacturing error, they will be eligible for reimbursement.
