Honda recently issued a recall for certain model years of its Accord, Civic, CR-V, and Pilot vehicles due to a potential issue with the engine's rod bearings. These bearings play a crucial role in reducing friction between the crankshaft and connecting rods, and a failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
The following Honda vehicles are affected by the recall:
Model | Model Years | Number of Vehicles Affected |

Accord | 2018-2023 | 1.1 million |

CR-V | 2017-2023 | 800,000 |
Pilot | 2019-2023 | 200,000 |
