Honda right halfshaft may have been improperly heat treated, reducing its strength.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the driveline driveshaft. Here is what owners need to know.
The right halfshaft may have been improperly heat treated, reducing its strength.
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.
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.
