NHTSA recall 17V706000
Power Train · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: The right halfshaft may have been improperly heat treated, reducing its strength.
Why it matters: The improper heat treatment can result in the halfshaft breaking, preventing the engine from moving the vehicle, and can allow a possible roll away situation if the parking brake is not engaged. This can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the halfshaft's serial number, replacing it as necessary and aligning the front wheels, free of charge. The recall began December 8, 2017.
