Car was assessed for recall related to service bulletin 23-032. Recall was performed, but the mechanic who performed the recall says the car is not repaired because the rear frame corrosion, as described in bulletin 23-032, is so severe that a large piece is missing from the rear frame. The mechanic says the repair as described in the bulletin is not enough to fix the car. The service bulletin remedy was only performed because the rear trailing arm bolts were able to be removed, but the car is still unsafe due to rear frame corrosion that Honda has admitted to as per the recall. The car is considered unsafe due to the frame damage and likely cannot pass state inspection. After calling Honda, Honda says the repair is complete even though the mechanic who performed the recall says the repair is not complete and the car is unsafe due to issues with rear frame corrosion that led to the recall in the first place. Honda is refusing to discuss the issue any further. A screenshot of the damaged part of the rear frame has been attached. This is part of a video taken by the mechanic who performed the recall. In this video the mechanic also states that “this is not a repair.” He also states that part of the damage is obscured by the brace that was attached to the frame, so the image provided does not show the full extent of the damage.

I took my 2009 Honda CRV in for a recall. In salt belt states where de-icing agents are used to maintain the roadway, the de-icing agents, along with mud and dirt, could enter the rear frame through the rear frame drainage points. This could cause the rear trailing arm to come off. The dealership ended up attaching a bracket that is supposed to keep me safe. My problem is that the bracket is attached to a highly corroded area of my vehicle (as shown in the attached pictures) When I brought this up they only stated that as long as the one bolt was able to be replaced then that is all they are required to do. I feel that the bracket should at least be attached to solid metal. Also, now I have to have the bracket removed again so I can get the frame repaired (even though the recall specifically says the corrosion was caused by a design flaw that allows salt and dirt to get into the inner frame through rear frame drainage points). I feel that there should be more criteria to this recall than just one bolt because they are sending cars back on the road that are still unsafe.

2009 HONDA CR-V- I recently received a recall notice from Honda regarding a problem with a rear frame member of my 2009 CR-V. I am all too familiar with this problem since it happened to me around two years ago. At the time of its failure I was advised by the service station that towed it that was a non-repairable situation. I therefore had it towed to my West Winfield home where I would later sell it as "junk". There seemed little use (and added expense) to have it towed to a Honda dealer since it was beyond repair. Upon receiving the recent notice I reached out to Honda who wanted little to do with my situation since I no longer owned the vehicle. I sought to at least seek some form of compensation, somewhere between the value of the vehicle and the amount I received as salvage (approx. $1100). While they've assigned a case number to me, they have not offered to provide any kind of relief in any shape or form. I am reaching out to you for some guidance on how to best proceed. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

Dealer informed me during visit, they had to send a picture/video of what they encountered to American Honda and wait for them to decide how to repair. A little while later during same visit, dealer informed me American Honda instructed them not to repair and tell me to go home and park the car and American Honda will call me. American Honda has not called me and the vehicle not repaired of the recall. I must drive the vehicle for my work. I would like them to fix, replace my vehicle and immediately if they think it is a safety concern.

The rear wheel on the left driver side detached from the frame while driving on the hwy and lost control. Luckily I could pull off and drive into the ditch. The frame is rusted enough that auto shop says that the repairs aren't worth it because the entire back frame is rusted and will just happen on the other side. No sounds beforehand to indicate their would be a malfunction. The control arm was detached from the rusting but other components broke from the frame rusting and wheel coming loose on the hwy. It will be inspected further.
