The drive shafts' protective coating may not have been applied properly during manufacturing, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt, or other contaminants, and potentially causing it to break.
A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
What to do
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft -- if necessary -- free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin February 1, 2021.
Owners may contact Honda customer service at (888) 234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are E9B and A9A.
