Over 1.4 Million Honda Vehicles Under Investigation

As reported yesterday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating approximately 1.4 million vehicles manufactured by Honda.  The investigation comes after additional complaints of failing connecting rod bearings on vehicles with 3.5-liter V-6 engines.  Last year Honda recalled roughly 250,000 vehicles with similar problems.  The issue as noted by NHTSA can and has led to complete engine failures in vehicles.  While at least one complaint indicated that the failure resulted in a collision, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect at this time.  Thus far the following models are under investigation, including the 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey, the 2018-2020 Acura TLX and the 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline. Vehicle owners are encouraged to take their vehicles to a Honda dealership to determine if their vehicle is in need of repair.

CKF has represented families and individuals around the country who have lost loved ones or suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of defective products.  These tragedies are almost always preventable and are regularly the result of the manufacturer’s negligence, whether in the design, manufacturing, or the marketing and insufficient warnings issued with these products.  Through product testing, manufacturers often know of the very real dangers posed by their products, but in the interests of profit, refuse to fix them and sell these products anyway. Those injured by defective products are entitled to compensation and justice.
