WASHINGTON — On June 10, Honda recalled about 880,514 vehicles nationwide over rear subframe corrosion that could cause rear suspension failure.
According to American Honda Motor Co., the recall covers certain 2016–2022 Honda Pilot, 2017–2023 Ridgeline, 2019–2023 Passport and 2014–2020 Acura MDX vehicles.
