The recalled vehicles were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts’ protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, potentially causing it to break. A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power, and the vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake is not applied.
“Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury,” NHTSA said.
Honda is notifying owners and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drive shafts, free of charge.
This recall began on February 1, 2021.
