Yep, only took 172000 vehicles to figure out a problem, got to love that quality in Japanese vehicles.

How come it's not a good point when I or someone like weaslespit mention the same thing? All car companies are subject to recalls. Are you twelve years old?

Over time the control arm could break at the weld. If that happens the steering would be affected, possibly resulting in a crash. * You dont think this welding problem could happen to other Hondas too? Many share same parts! *

I've not heard of anyone actually experiencing said problem, on either vehicle. Good for both GM and Honda for taking care of the problem.
