US Probes Potential Engine Failures in 1.4 Million Honda Vehicles

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating engine failure complaints affecting 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. Although Honda recalled 250,000 vehicles in 2023 for this problem, 173 complaints have been filed for vehicles not included in that recall. Honda is cooperating with the investigation.
