What Happened
The rear subframe in your vehicle is a crucial metal structure that supports the suspension and helps your car handle on the road. In certain models, it can corrode over time, especially in areas with high humidity and road salt.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear subframe fails, the rear suspension could collapse, making it hard to steer and control your vehicle. This could lead to a crash or injury, especially if you're driving at high speeds or towing a trailer.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the rear subframe and replace it with a reinforced version, and also fix or replace any damaged rear suspension parts, all at no cost to you. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule the repair when you get it.
