This corrosion can weaken the subframe, potentially leading to the failure of critical suspension components.
Such a failure could result in the driver losing the ability to steer or control the vehicle effectively.
Honda estimates that approximately 1% of the total recalled vehicles are actually equipped with the defect.
Owners of the affected vehicles are expected to receive notification letters starting July 7, 2026.
Honda dealerships will perform the necessary repairs, which involve either repairing or replacing the rear subframe components, at no cost to the vehicle owners.
The official NHTSA recall number assigned to this action is 26V365000.
