On certain vehicles, the rear frame could rust. In extreme cases, this could result in a rear trailing arm separating from the vehicle.
Safety Risk
A rear trailing arm that separates could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership for an inspection of the rear frame stiffeners. If the vehicle passes the inspection, dealers will apply corrosion protection and install a brace. For a vehicle that does not pass the inspection, Honda will repurchase the vehicle. In the event the repurchase is declined by an owner, a secondary inspection and body shop repair method may be possible.
