Engine defect! Honda recalls nearly 250,000 vehicles

Recently, Honda issued a notice that it would recall nearly 250,000 vehicles produced in the United States between 2015 and 2020 due to engine defects. The recalled models include 2015-2020 Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2016 and 2018-2019 Pilot, 2017 and 2019 Ridgeline and 2018-2019 Odyssey.

As for the reason for the recall, the official stated that it was mainly because the equipment for manufacturing engine crankshafts was improperly set up. During the crankshaft production process, the crankpins were improperly ground, causing the crankpins to appear crowned or convex, which did not meet the specifications, which easily caused the engine connecting rod bearings to be damaged. Wear and seize, damaging the engine. A damaged engine may operate improperly or stall while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of fire, crash, or injury.

In addition, Honda spokesman Chris Martin also said in response to the recall that currently only models produced in the United States equipped with V-6 engines are affected. In addition, approximately 30,000 vehicles in Canada and Mexico are affected by the fault. Subsequent dealers will inspect and repair the engine free of charge, and replace the engine if necessary. Notification letters to vehicle owners are expected to be sent out on January 2 next year. For vehicle owners who have completed repairs at their own expense before the recall, they can apply for reimbursement according to the recall reimbursement plan filed by Honda with NHTSA.

Officials say only 1% of vehicles are expected to break down and require repairs. It said that as of November 3, 2023, it had received 1,450 warranty claims, but none of them were reports of injuries or deaths caused by engine failure. At the same time, it is also stated that if this problem occurs, the driver may feel abnormal engine noise, flameout or reduced power output, and the “engine failure” indicator light will illuminate. It is recommended that car owners check the engine indicator light and listen for abnormal sounds from the engine while driving.

It is worth noting that this is not a large-scale recall by Toyota this year. On October 25, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration disclosed that Honda will recall some 2022-2024 Civic four-door and Civic five-door vehicles, totaling 176,410, due to improper steering gear assembly or tire damage. vehicle. During this recall, Honda will replace the electric power steering rack for car owners.

On June 24 this year, Honda recalled 1.3 million vehicles globally due to a potential problem with the vehicle’s rearview camera image, which may cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Among them, 1.2 million vehicles were recalled in the United States, 88,000 vehicles were recalled in Canada, and 16,000 vehicles were recalled in Mexico. The vehicles involved include some Odysseys produced from 2018 to 2023, Pilots from 2019 to 2022, and Passport cars from 2019 to 2023. For this recall, dealers will install a modified cable harness where the existing display audio and vehicle terminal connections are located, as well as a correction cap on the vehicle cable connector to allow for proper connection of the audio display unit.

Judging from the several recalls of Honda cars, the number of recalls is still relatively large. Of course, there are potential safety hazards in vehicles, and the official recall reflects the responsible attitude of car companies. However, for consumers, frequent large-scale recalls will also have a certain impact on the reputation of their brands.
