The National Road Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation in 1.4 million Honda and Acura Vehicles. The Agency’s Bureau of Investigation in the faults received hundreds of reports that the bars load loading in the 3.5-liter V-6 engine may be delivered, and this recent investigation may reveal a new defect in manufacturing.
The affected cars include 2018-2020 ACURA TLX, 2016-2020 Acura MDX, 2016-2020 Honda Pilot, 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey, and 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline Models.
According to ODI reportThe office opened its investigation on August 20. 414 reports have received pregnancy failure, while Honda got nearly 2,600. Evidence collected so far indicates that the defect of the manufacture of the elbow is different causes these failures. Honda issued a summons in 2023.
The auto industry company previously had to remember nearly 250,000 Honda and Acura vehicles due to a defect that might cause premature erosion to withstand the delivery rod, which leads to an engine. The case was linked to Krank pins outside the specifications. The effect of the summons of 2023 on the same models such new models, but different years. For example, the previous summons on 2015-2020 TLXs and 2016 Ridgelines.
The agency had opened a Remember the query In this summons in 2023 last November after receiving 173 reports of an additional failed, a 3.5-liter V-6-liter rod. Failure reports were “characteristics consistent with those dealt with in the summons of 23V-751, but they are outside the summons.”
ODI now opens an initial assessment “to assess the scope and intensity of the potential problem and evaluate potential safety issues”, which have nothing to do with the previous article.
in A closure report discusses the summons of 2023The agency wrote, “A comprehensive analysis of all available data from Honda did not indicate the existence of the same manufacturing defect in the engines outside the range as the engines were required by 23V-751.”
This means that Honda can face another huge summary in the coming months, which has the ability to influence more than a million cars. But we will have to wait until NHTSA completes its last investigation.
