Details

What's wrong: The retention nut for the front right lower suspension damper bolt may not have been tightened to the proper torque, potentially allowing the nut to loosen.

Why it matters: If the nut loosens, the front hub assembly would only be attached by one bolt, allowing the wheel assembly to shift to an extreme inward angle, resulting in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda contacted all nine owners by phone on December 19, 2011, and repaired the vehicles as necessary free of charge.
