26 thoughts onHonda issues recall for several models due to connecting rod defect
I have a 2018 Honda Odyssey with connecting rod bearing failure. I had every single service done on time at the Honda dealership. Exactly one week after it was serviced my engine failed due to the connecting rod bearing failure. Now its back at the dealership and honda is refusing to help me . I am being told it does not fall in the build dates for the recall

Please add me. I have two 2016 MDXs.
Recently Honda refused to cover my defective white paint on one of these – because I was 48 hours past the extension date – even when I had taken it to a dealer 2 months prior who never mentioned therw white paint recall. $3,200 for the repaint!
