US Probes 1.4M Honda Vehicles for Potential Engine Failures

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into 1.4 million Honda and Acura vehicles due to potential engine defects involving connecting rod bearings, which could lead to engine failure. This follows a previous recall of 250,000 vehicles for similar issues, but complaints have continued from owners of vehicles not included in that recall. The investigation covers several models, including the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot, from 2016 to 2020. No crashes or injuries have been reported, and the NHTSA aims to determine the defect's severity and the need for further recalls.
