- 279 vehicles are affected in the United States
- Front driveshaft (left or right) will be replaced, for free
- No in-market warranty claims or reported crashes/injuries; issue discovered by supplier
American Honda will voluntarily recall 279 Acura RDX (2021) and Honda CR-V Hybrid (2022) vehicles in the United States to replace the front left or right driveshaft, for free. Certain incorrectly manufactured front driveshafts may be subject to premature internal wear, which could cause a vehicle to lose motive power to the front wheels or to roll unexpectedly while in park without use of the parking brake. Both potential scenarios could increase the risk of a crash. Honda has not received any in-market warranty claims or reports of crash or injury related to this issue, which was discovered during quality inspections at the driveshaft supplier.
American Honda is announcing this recall to encourage each owner or lessee of an affected vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Acura or Honda. Mailed notification to owners will occur in late-Jan. 2022. Owners of these models can also determine if their specific vehicles are included in the recall by visiting www.recalls.acura.com, www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
