What this recall means for you
Certain 2007 through 2011 Honda CR-V vehicles sold or registered in many northeastern, Midwestern, and mid-Atlantic states may have a frame that corrodes from an accumulation of road salt. Over time, this corrosion can weaken the frame to the point where the rear trailing arm may detach.
A detached rear trailing arm can cause a loss of vehicle control, which increases the risk of a crash. If you own an affected vehicle, contact an authorized Honda dealer or Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 and reference recall UE3.
