Honda is recalling many 2010 to 2011 Accords and 2011 Pilots crossovers in the U.S. to make repairs that will head off a potential front suspension failure.
About 10,800 vehicles are involved. The problem focuses on the machinery used to tighten nuts on the front axles of both vehicles. And on the Pilot alone, there's an issue with the damper attachment bracket bolts, may cause the front suspension of a small number of these vehicles to fail. A flaw in the software for the equipment used for this assembly process was identified at Honda's Alabama assembly plant.
Owners will receive notification to bring their vehicle to a Honda dealer for inspection. After inspection of the affected Pilots and Accords, mechanics will replace the spindle nuts and on the Pilot alone, maybe replace front damper attachment bracket bolts as needed.
