TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Honda is reportedly launching a recall campaign for 880,514 vehicles in the United States due to the potential for rust on the rear subframe, which could affect the suspension system and driving safety.
As quoted by ANTARA, CarsCoops reported on Wednesday that the recall involved 463,253 units of the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot, 110,070 units of the 2017-2023 Ridgeline, 89,674 units of the 2019-2023 Passport, and 217,517 units of the 2014-2020 Acura MDX.
This case is often found in vehicles in the U.S., which use salt to melt snow during the winter. It is thought that exposure to salt and moisture accelerates the corrosion of the rear subframe, especially on components with damaged protective paint layers.
Honda revealed that corrosion damage can occur at the rear control arm mounting points or the lower suspension arms. Under extreme conditions, these components can crack or even come loose, potentially causing the rear wheels to become misaligned and impairing stability, braking ability, and vehicle control.
Before serious damage occurs, the driver will likely notice symptoms such as abnormal noises from the rear suspension, vibrations, or changes in the vehicle's handling characteristics.
This case adds to Honda's extensive portfolio of corrosion-related recalls. In 2023, the company recalled more than 560,000 CR-Vs from 2007 to 2011 due to a similar issue with the rear frame. Meanwhile, in 2022, more than 112,000 Ridgeline units were also recalled due to rust that could potentially damage the fuel tank mount.
Honda stated that they began investigating this issue in late 2021 by conducting tests on the quality of the paint coating on the subframe. After monitoring the situation in the U.S. and Canada for several years, the company finally determined that it fell under the category of a safety defect.
