Defect

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Acura MDX, 2017-2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, 2018-2019 Honda HR-V and Honda Odyssey, and 2016 Honda HR-V vehicles.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA identifies two recalls affecting certain 2016 Honda HR-V vehicles. A brake caliper issue may allow gas pockets to form in the rear brake calipers, reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk. A tire placard issue may leave the vehicle without the required Tire and Loading Information label, making it harder to identify the correct inflation pressure. Incorrect tire inflation can contribute to tire failure and a crash. Waiting to verify an open recall leaves a safety concern unresolved. Contact Hare Honda for a free VIN check and promptly schedule service if a remedy applies.
