U.S. Investigates 1.4 Million Honda Vehicles for Potential Engine Failures

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is probing reports of engine issues in Honda and Acura models not included in a previous recall.

The investigation covers Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Honda Odyssey, Acura TLX, and Honda Ridgeline models from 2016 to 2020.
Complaints involve failures of connecting rod bearings in 3.5-liter V6 engines, leading to possible engine failure.
Honda previously recalled 250,000 vehicles in November 2023 for similar issues but did not include all affected models.
The NHTSA has received 173 complaints from owners whose vehicles were not part of the earlier recall.
Honda has expressed its intention to cooperate fully with the investigation to determine the severity of the problem.
