Honda Recalls 165,000 Engines
After recently announcing the largest vehicle recall in Chinese history, Honda announced today that the U.S. will be included in this recall. The concern is that engine problems from a sealer material that may leak onto wires in the engine may cause them to snap. This recall for the United States affects 165,000 vehicles. Multiple complaints about the problem have been filed at Honda HQ, but no crashes or injuries have been reported.
Vehicles affected include the 2005 Acura RL, TL and TSX, the entire 2005 Honda Accord lineup (include the Accord Hybrid), 2005 Honda Odyssey and 2006 Honda Ridgeline. There are other recalls being announced in various markets around the world for the same problem, but Honda declined to reveal how large the scope of this recall is in raw numbers. Clearly, though, this is the same issue that sparked the giant recall in China.
If you think your vehicle is affected, you can call Honda at (800) 999-1009 for more information.
