Summary

Honda Recalls Vehicles

Honda Motor Co. is recalling 880,514 U.S. Pilot, Ridgeline, Passport and Acura MDX vehicles because a rear-subframe part can rust and fail.
The 2014-2020 MDX, 2016-2022 Pilot, 2017-2023 Ridgeline and 2019-2023 Passport models may suffer subframe thinning from road-salt corrosion, leading to fracture.
Dealers will inspect and install kits while Honda reported no injuries or deaths as of May 28 and its shares fell 1% in trading, down over 10% year-to-date.

History

Historical Context

After the 2009-10 Toyota crisis, which forced a worldwide recall of roughly 9 million cars over floor-mat and accelerator-pedal faults, regulators tightened durability standards. That pressure now frames the 2024 recalls of over 880,000 Hondas and more than 1.3 million Jeeps, prompting automakers to invest heavily in corrosion-resistant designs and supply-chain audits.
