The recalled vehicles were sold in the following states:

The NHTSA said the rear subframe can corrode where it is mounted to the suspension, causing it to fail.

Dealers will inspect the subframe, install a reinforcement kit, and, if necessary, repair or replace it at no cost.

Owners will be alerted by mail after July 7, but can call Honda at 888-234-2138 and use recall numbers AOU and AOT.

Vehicle identification numbers can also be searched on the NHTSA website.
