Summary
Honda is recalling over 800,000 vehicles due to a potential rear suspension failure. The recall affects certain 2016-2022 Honda Pilot, 2017-2023 Ridgeline, 2019-2023 Passport, and 2014-2020 Acura MDX vehicles sold in specific states. The issue is caused by corrosion at suspension mounting points, which can lead to loss of control and increased crash risk.
