Has your Honda been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Structure › Frame and members

Summary: The springs are held up by a metal support around each shock absorber. Vehicles driven regularly in areas where roads are salted during wintertime are subject to rusting of these supports. Rusting may eventually allow the spring to break through the support.
Remedy: The spring supports and shocks will be inspected; depending on condition, the components will be rustproofed or replaced, if necessary.
