What Happened
The rear subframe is a crucial part of your vehicle's frame that helps keep the suspension in place. In certain 2014-2022 models, the subframe in your Acura MDX, Honda Pilot, Ridgeline, or Passport may corrode at the attachment points, causing issues with the rear suspension.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear suspension fails, your vehicle could become harder to control, making it more likely for you to lose traction or skid. This could lead to a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your authorized Honda dealer will inspect the rear subframe and install a reinforcement kit, and replace any damaged parts as needed, all at no cost to you. Once you receive the recall notice, schedule the repair as soon as possible.
