Extended use combined with improper welding could cause the control arm to break, Honda says. This could impair vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash. Honda states that no accidents have been reported related to the issue.
The automaker will notify owners starting in mid-April, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Honda at 800-999-1009 or go to www.recalls.honda.com for more info.
