Joliet, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2011 -- Honda of Joliet, one of the leading Illinois Honda dealers, wants to issue pertinent information regarding a recall of select Honda Accords and Honda Pilots. 10,800 late model year 2010/2011 Honda Accords and 2011 Honda Pilots are currently being recalled by Honda to prevent the potential for suspension failure. This type of recall is important to the safety and well being of owners and passengers.
A potential problem with the machinery used to tighten the spindle nuts on the front axles of both vehicles, as well as the damper attachment bracket bolts for the Pilot, may cause the front suspension of a small number of these vehicles to fail. A flaw in the software for the equipment used for this assembly process was identified at Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC (HMA). This concern is isolated to vehicles produced at HMA.
Owners of identified model year 2010 to 2011 Accord and model year 2011 Pilot vehicles will receive notification to bring their vehicle to one of the leading Illinois Honda dealers for inspection. After inspection of the Accord, Honda of Joliet will replace the spindle nuts; after inspection of the Pilot, the dealer will replace the spindle nuts and if necessary the front damper attachment bracket bolts.
