Due to a manufacturing error, the connecting rod bearing in the engine may wear and seize, damaging the engine. A damaged engine may run improperly or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a fire, crash, or injury.

A faulty cable connector can keep the rearview camera image from showing on the display, so the vehicle does not meet federal rear visibility rules. Without the camera view, the driver can't see behind the vehicle well, which raises the risk of a crash or injury.

Fix: The dealer will replace the MOST cable harness and install a straightening cover over the cable connector at no charge.

The hood latch striker can become damaged and separate from the hood. If that happens, the hood can fly open while you drive and block your view, raising the risk of a crash.

The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Some tires were baked in production for too long, which can weaken the sidewall or cause the belts to separate. This can cause sudden air loss or tread loss, leading to a loss of vehicle control and a higher risk of a crash or injury.

Incorrect central network software programming may cause several errors to occur that can delay or prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors." A delayed or inoperative rearview camera display can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Honda will notify owners that updated software is available.

Incorrect software in the instrument panel control module can blank out key information such as engine oil pressure, speedometer, and gear position until the next ignition cycle, and it can stop the rearview camera image from appearing. Driving without these displays raises the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will reprogram the instrument panel control module software at no charge.

The front frame left and right side upper members may not have been welded completely to the unibody. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 219, "Windshield Zone Intrusion." In the event of a crash, incomplete body welding may provide inadequate protection to occupants, increasing the risk of an injury.

Fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle for missing welds, free of charge. If the vehicle is identified as missing welds, the dealer will offer to repurchase the vehicle or provide a similar replacement vehicle.

The teeth on the timing belt can separate from the belt, which may cause the engine to stall. A sudden stall while driving raises the risk of a crash.

The clip holding the right center pillar trim panel may not stay secure, and in a crash that trim could interfere with the right side curtain airbag. If the airbag does not deploy as intended, the risk of injury increases.

Fix: The dealer will install a bracket on the right center pillar that securely holds the trim clip, free of charge.
