The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. The vehicle was recently taken to a dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The contact stated that the dealer was required to perform a rigorous 7-point safety inspection to ensure the frame was structurally sound for the rear trailing arm reinforcement brace to function properly. However, the dealer overlooked a critical rust hole on the frame by the trailing arm brace. The dealer improperly completed the recall repair despite the structural failure and informed the contact that the recall repair was successfully performed. The contact became aware of the issue after arriving to the residence. The contact believed that the issue posed an immediate safety risk. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for re-evaluation; however, the dealer refused to provide further assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the structural failure. The failure mileage was 191,000.

While driving on October 2, 2026, the driver-side rear trailing arm and subframe mounting structure detached from the frame due to severe corrosion. The vehicle was immediately taken to Brandon Honda (Tampa, FL) for inspection under Safety Recall 23V228000 / Campaign 23-032. Brandon Honda documented on Repair Order #250035 that the "DRIVER REAR SUB-FRAME LOOKS TO BE COMPLETELY DETACHED." However, instead of submitting required inspection failure photos to Honda TechLine for corporate repurchase evaluation as mandated by Service Bulletin 23-032, the dealership issued a $4,222.77 customer-pay body shop estimate from Nu Finish Collision Center (Estimate #046670) to replace the suspension crossmember, trailing arm, and frame rails out of pocket. The vehicle has a completely detached rear trailing arm/subframe, fails the safety recall inspection, and is grounded at the dealership as unsafe to drive. The dealership is refusing to follow official recall failure protocol and attempting to shift financial responsibility onto the consumer for a safety defect covered under federal recall mandates.

We took our 2008 honda crv to the Coggin Honda dealership in December 2025 to do a safety inspection, as we noted severe frame rust. In January 2026, the dealership indicated that we had to release the car to them, as it was unsafe to drive, and that they would be forwarding the case to Honda Corp under the NHTSA ID 23V228000 recall. When we called the dealership later for status updates, they indicated we had to deal directly with Honda Corp. We have called Honda Corp multiple times, and have gotten various stories, including that the case had been sent to mediation. When i called today, they indicated it has not yet been sent to mediation, and they would not let me talk to a supervisor. They suggested i call back tomorrow. We have not had use of our vehicle or any offer for a rental/loaner for 9 months now and we have no real answer on when this might be resolved. Please help us.

My car failed the annual Massachusetts State safety inspection done on XXX. The areas of failure were FRAME, FRONT END, and MUFFLER/EXHAUST. I was advised to not drive the car due to risk of frame failure due to extensive rust. I then brought vehicle to Atamian Honda ([XXX]) on XXX pursuant to Honda Service Bulleting (Recall) 23-032. The dealer contacted me later that day to tell me that the car was ready. The Service Concierge told me: (1) The car is ready as they did the recall. (2) The Technician said that the rust and rot was so sever that they could not put the car on a lift. (3) They could not complete the Multi Point Inspection due to the rust. (4) The technician advised me to not drive the car due to the condition causing an unsafe vehicle. I went to the dealer to sign off on the invoice and arranged a tow of the Honda to my home, as I did not want to risk driving in it. I opened a Case with Honda Corporate to claim that, despite the dealer's Recall being processed, that protocols of the Recall process were not followed; specifically, there are 2 fundamental actions that are required in order to properly process this Recall: completion of the MPI(Multi Point Inspection) and the placement of the car on a lift. Neither of these were done. Honda Corporate contacted me on XXX and, despite my claim on case number XXX, their position is that the dealer performed the Recall. I have made 2 phone calls in recent days and the calls have not been returned to me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hello, I have a recall for the corrosion on my Honda CRV 2008, American Honda already has everything on file from the dealer ship I took to get it inspected and is been a whole month and American Honda hasn’t reached out to me. I have been asking American Honda if I could get a loaner car or rental as the service manager at the dealership has said he cannot provide a rental until American Honda authorized since obviously some one has to pay for it.

This is a complaint in reference to a current recall for the rear rust and corrosion issues on Honda CRvs, Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-228. I brought my vehicle to Matt Burne Honda on January 7 2025 for this recall and they "inspected" and passed the vehicle, installed the brace, and said all was well as they handed me the keys. In early March I took the car in for its state inspection and it failed due to all of the rust/corrosion/frame rot on the rear of this vehicle. When I called Matt Burne to find out why they installed the brace on this vehicle with all that rust, and why they never even bothered to mention the rust to me, they said that for the recall to pass all they needed to do was remove the bolt for the trailing arm and that all the rust didn't matter, and whether or not it could pass a state inspection didn't matter. This, put me and my family at risk. The rust and corrosion is severe. My family and I have been driving in it thinking it was all okay since the recall was completed. Yet they never thought to mention it. Isn't this recall in reference to rust and corrosion on the rear frame? Yes, I understand it involves the trailing arm, but wasn't there a punch test and a frame inspection that was supposed to be a part of this? How is it that the frame can rot away and practically disintegrate and yet that doesn't matter? After a month of trying to reach Honda, they finally told me I needed to take it to a Honda dealer because the 2 inspection centers I had taken it to weren't good enough. I wound up taking to to Motorworld Honda for an "inspection" and all they did was look at the installed brace and say everything was good, even though that at this point they were now unable to put the car on the lift since that spot on the frame has rusted away. In March it was able to be put on the lift? What happened since? And how is this acceptable as far as this recall is concerned? They put my life and the lives of my family at risk as well as others.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure) and the vehicle was repaired under the recall; however, the contact was informed that the dealer had observed a 3X8 inch hole located 2 inches away from where the support brace was installed.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed regarding a possible buyback; however, the request was denied due to the age of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 211,600.

Hello I’m [XXX] and own a 2008 Honda CRV that runs fine. VIN [XXX] , but previous owner never went to the recall and I bought the car in 2014 and recently, during a brake job, I first became aware of the problem when my mechanic alerted me to the recall situation and the rusting out that was putting drivers in a very dangerous situation. My car failed the recall because of the rust causing the degradation of the rear suspension trailing arm, and now I'm left with a car not fit to drive? and I would be liable for whatever happens but I was never offered a solution to buy the car back something to help and I cannot be without one to get to Dr’s or buy food live rural I have no choice living alone at [XXX] need a car. So a question, why am I the problem? when, in the first place, the car was dangerous from the manufacturer to the rusting out situation which was actually life threatening, lose steering, the wheel could collapse or the frame itself, and again, never offered any help at all some compensation, nothing? Just drive it home with the burden of the liability etc. I’m on a Fixed income of only $800 a month how am I to survive living rural without a car at my age? Please, I need some help. Why am I being punished when the design itself, as I said, created the dangerous problem and just that's it? Appreciate help from someone.
