Known Safety Recalls

Critical #20V770000 Plain English
Component

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The driveshaft in your vehicle is like a long metal rod that connects the transmission to the wheels. In some affected models, the protective coating wasn't applied correctly, making it more prone to damage from road salt or other contaminants.
Risk if Unfixed
If the driveshaft breaks while you're driving, your vehicle could lose power, making it harder to control. It could also roll away if you exit the vehicle without engaging the parking brake, which could lead to a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the driveshaft and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you, once the remedy is available. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice.
