Honda Recalls Nearly 250K Vehicles Over Engine Stall Concerns

A manufacturing error affecting multiple models could lead to engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Honda is recalling nearly 250,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a manufacturing error that could cause engines to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall affects certain Honda Pilot SUVs and Odyssey minivans produced between 2018 and 2019, some 2017 and 2019 Ridgeline pickup trucks, certain Acura TLX cars from 2016 to 2020, and a number of Acura MDX SUVs from 2016 to 2020.
The manufacturing error could cause connected rod bearings to wear and seize, damaging the engine.
Honda has received 1,450 warranty claims due to the issue, but no injuries have been reported.
Owners will be notified by mail starting January 2, and dealers will inspect, repair or replace engines if necessary.
