Honda Recalls 250,000 Vehicles Over Possible Engine Failures

Honda issued a recall for 250,000 vehicles because of a manufacturing error that could damage the engine. 

The recall covers the 2015-2020 Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2016 and 2018-2019 Pilot, 2017 and 2019 Ridgeline, and 2018-2019 Odyssey vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that “the connecting rod bearing in the engine may wear and seize, damaging the engine.”

This could cause the engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners will be able to take their vehicle to a dealer, where technicians will inspect and repair the engine. If the engine is damaged beyond repair, they will replace it free of charge.
