STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain 2016-2022 Honda Pilot, 2017-2023 Ridgeline, 2019-2023 Passport, and 2014-2020 Acura MDX vehicles that were sold in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin. The rear subframe may corrode at the suspension mounting points, which can result in rear suspension component failure.
- What it can cause
- Failure of rear suspension components, such as the rear control arm, can cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the rear subframe and install a rear subframe reinforcement kit and, as necessary, repair or replace the rear subframe components, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed July 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in the fall of 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are AOU and AOT. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 10, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 880,514 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 99% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the structure 17 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V228000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 26 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 8,238 complaints with NHTSA, 7,650 of them before this campaign was filed. 240 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2013, 12 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 20 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V332000 (air bags), 25V259000 (exterior lighting), 24V900000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V321000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on June 4, 2026 as campaign 26V365000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
