Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system may be prone to early life failures due to a manufacturing flaw. The flaw can result in a leak of the pressurized gas, leading to reduced strut performance.

Why it matters: Struts with diminished performance can lead to unexpected closure, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both power liftgate gas struts free of charge. The safety recall began on March 12, 2012.
