Details

What's wrong: Water may enter the rear wiring harness through the connector located under the truck bed drain hole, possibly causing the connection terminals to corrode.

Why it matters: Corrosion of the wiring harness can cause increased electrical resistance, unexpectedly activating the vehicle stability assist (vsa) system, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear wiring harness and related components, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.
