POWER TRAIN 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 a metal rod that connects your transmission to your wheels, allowing your car to move. In certain models, a thin protective coating on the driveshaft might not have been 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, you'll lose power and could be at risk of a crash. If you get out of the car, it could roll away without you, which could also cause an accident or injury.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect your driveshaft and replace it if it's damaged, free of charge. You'll get a second notice when the repair is available, and you can contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 if you have any questions or concerns.
