Two New Honda Recalls


In the growing portfolio of cars being recalled by Honda, you can not add the 2012 Pilot and its upscale brother, the 2012 Acura MDX. The NHTSA is saying that the vent shut float valve case in the fuel tank assembly of the vehicle does not meet proper design specifications and this increases fire risk.

In addition the Accord, Odyssey, Ridgeline, and Acura ZDX all share some of the underpinnings witht eh Pilot/MDX but are unaffected.

This is in addition to the previously released recall from Honda this week concerning the 2008-2009 Honda Odyssey minivan due to the lift-gate struts which have improper gas compression and can fail causing the tailgate to crash down. There are over 45,000 minivans in this recall and at least two reported injuries.

Concerned owners can contact Honda directly at 1-888-327-4236
