Glad my Fit isn't on the list, I love that thing. It had a minor recall a while back but they fixed it free of charge when I brought it in.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Recalls are always repaired for free, by law. They are also compulsory to issue. Otherwise, manufacturers have proven they are more than happy to let people die rather than lose a few bucks.
Honda has become completely enshittified. They even have major issues on their motorcycles. Was nice while it lasted.
I'm sure some engineer decided to save a few bucks not zinc plating the rear subframe or using aluminum.
I promise you, it wasn't an engineer who made that decision.
Honda estimates that just 1% of the vehicles listed have the defect.
With numbers like that, I'm a little bit more inclined to assume that this was a manufacturing slip-up rather than deliberate corner-cutting. I can't say for sure though, the article doesn't give much info on what exactly the defect was and what caused it.
The problem centers around the rear subframe, which can corrode at suspension mounting points and cause the rear suspension to fail.
There are mounting points on that subframe to which attach things like shocks, control arms, differential (in AWD vehicles). Other mounting points attach the subframe to the uni body. There are often bushings in those mounting points.
If the subframe was manufactured incorrectly, those mounting points can deteriorate prematurely, causing the related suspension components to suddenly disconnect.
suddenly disconnect
So .. a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly?
The rear fell off.
That depends on where you draw the line between the front and the rear 😁
Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
It's not the engineer that gets anything extra when the business people make a cut to the product, lol. The engineer is going to be the one arguing against it, but ultimately unable to steer the ship at all..
Fair because Honda is a shell of its former self, but they've always had suspension problems. Every single model for as long as I can remember
