NHTSA Investigates 1.4M Honda Vehicles for Engine Failure Risk

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating engine failure complaints in up to 1.4 million Honda and Acura vehicles, including models like the Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Honda Odyssey, Acura TLX, and Honda Ridgeline from 2016 to 2020. The issue involves connecting rod bearings in 3.5-liter V6 engines, which can lead to complete engine failure. Despite a recall of 250,000 vehicles in November 2023, 173 complaints have been filed for vehicles not included in the recall. Honda is cooperating with the investigation.
