Affected Hondas include model-year 2016-22 Pilot SUVs, 2017-23 Ridgeline pickup trucks and 2019-23 Passport SUVs, and model-year 2014-20 Acura MDXs that were sold in states that commonly use road salt and other de-icing agents. Those states include Connecticut, Delaware, the 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. An improper coating may allow the rear subframe mounting points to corrode, which could lead to the failure of rear suspension components. A failure of rear suspension components, such as the rear control arm, can cause the driver to lose handling or control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect the rear subframe, install a rear subframe reinforcement kit and, as necessary, repair or replace affected rear subframe components for free. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 7, but those with further question can contact Honda customer service at 888-234-2138 (Honda’s designations for this recall are AOU and AOT), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
