What Happened
The recall affects your vehicle's frame, which is the main structure that holds everything together. The problem is that road salt can cause the frame to corrode and potentially break, which could affect the rear wheels.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear trailing arm breaks, you could lose control of your vehicle, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Honda will inspect and fix the problem for free, either by installing a support brace or repairing the frame, and they'll let you know if any additional work is needed. You'll also be notified if you're eligible for a possible vehicle repurchase.
