marketwatch.comHonda is recalling 880,514 vehicles because rear suspension components could fail, putting passengers at risk of injury or a crash, federal regulators said in a recall notice. The recall covers Honda Pilot models from 2016 to 2022, Ridgeline models from 2017 to 2023, Passport models from 2019 to 2023, and Acura MDX models from 2014 to 2020.
The vehicles were sold in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.
Honda is issuing the recall because the rear subframe on the vehicles could corrode, potentially leading to suspension component failure. That can cause drivers to lose handling or control of the vehicle, NHTSA said in its notice. According to Honda's estimate, only 1% of the vehicles contain the defect.
Letters notifying owners are expected to go out on July 7, 2026. Dealers will repair or replace the rear subframe components free of charge. The NHTSA recall number is 26V365000.
