SEOCONTENT-START

OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-228 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Submission Date : Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) MAR 30, 2023 NHTSA Recall No. : 23V-228 Manufacturer Recall No. : XDZ Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) Address : 1919 Torrance Blvd. Torrance CA 90501 Company phone : 1-888-234-2138 Population : Number of potentially involved : 563,711 Estimated percentage with defect : 1 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2007-2011 Honda CR-V Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : GAS Descriptive Information : The recall population was determined based on manufacturing, sales, and vehicle registration records. The manufacturing range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem. The recall is specific to vehicles sold or ever registered in the salt-belt region (Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin). There have been no reports of occurrences to vehicles sold outside the salt-belt region. Production Dates : MAR 06, 2006 – DEC 05, 2011 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : In salt-belt states where de-icing agents are used to maintain the roadway, the de-icing agents, along with mud and water, could enter the rear frame through drainage/positioning holes when the vehicle is driven through flooded areas or puddles at high speeds. Over time, the accumulated de-icing agents/mud/ water mixture could cause corrosion to the frame’s internal structure. If this occurs, the rear trailing arm can fall off. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-228 Page 2 Description of the Safety Risk : The corrosion to the frame’s internal structure can cause the rear trailing arm to fall off, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Description of the Cause : Accumulation of de-icing agents/mud/water mixture enters the rear frame through drainage/positioning holes when the vehicle is driven through flooded areas or puddles at high speeds, causing the frame’s internal structure to corrode. Identification of Any Warning NR that can Occur : Involved Components : Component Name 1 : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Description : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Part Number : 65500-SXS-A00 Component Name 2 : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Description : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Part Number : 65500-SXT-A00 Component Name 3 : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Description : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Part Number : 65500-SWA-A00 Component Name 4 : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Description : FLOOR COMP, REAR Component Part Number : 65500-SWB-A00 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-228 Page 3 NR Country : NR Chronology : January 18, 2019 Honda submitted Foreign Recall Report 19F-012, informing NHTSA of a foreign recall in Canada for rear frame corrosion in certain 2007-2011 model year CR-Vs. After a market study of US market vehicles located in the Northeast region, Honda determined the rate of rear frame corrosion would not affect the structural integrity for the useful life of the vehicles due to fewer unpaved roads and lower sand/salt usage in the region as compared to Canada. March 12, 2019 Honda received a market report on rear frame corrosion in the US market. April 2019 – June 2019 Honda received additional claims for rear frame corrosion. July 15, 2020 Honda repurchased a vehicle after observing rear frame corrosion and began to investigate the issue. November 18, 2021 Honda expanded the investigation to focus on the accumulation of water/mud to the rear frame. Honda also continued a US market survey to investigate the potential of corrosion from de-icing agents. March 6, 2023 Honda’s investigations confirmed the combination of water/mud accumulation to the rear frame and the increased use of de-icing agents in US salt belt states can cause rear frame corrosion rate equivalent to that for the recalled vehicles in Canada in 2019. Additionally, Honda identified the affected range of vehicles based on market occurrences and market survey results. March 23, 2023 Honda determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety existed and decided to conduct a safety recall. As of March 23, 2023, Honda has received 61 customer complaints from the US market between September 2018 through March 2023, and no reports of fatalities or injuries related to this issue. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-228 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Dealers will inspect the rear frame for corrosion and determine the remedy based on the ability to remove the rear trailing arm bolt. If the rear trailing arm bolt can be removed, the dealer will attach a support brace to the rear frame which will lower the risk of a severe crash if the trailing arm fails. Should the trailing arm bolt fall off with the trailing arm held on by the bracket, the dealer will either, 1) repair the frame, or 2) offer to repurchase the vehicle. If the rear trailing arm bolt cannot be removed, the dealer will either: 1) repair the frame, or 2) offer to repurchase the vehicle. Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA. How Remedy Component Differs NR from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition NR was Corrected in Production : Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Dealer notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 03/31/2023. Owner notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 05/08/2023. Planned Dealer Notification Date : MAR 31, 2023 – MAR 31, 2023 Planned Owner Notification Date : MAY 08, 2023 – MAY 08, 2023 * NR – Not Reported
