“I own a 2011 Honda CR-V that previously received the remedy for NHTSA Recall #23V-228 regarding rear frame and trailing arm corrosion. Although the support brace was installed, the vehicle’s structural integrity is actively failing due to ongoing rust. This safety recall affects over 560,000 vehicles, yet many are still bought and sold daily with severe frame rot. I was sold one of these unsafe vehicles, and the trailing arm is now on the verge of breaking away completely. I have contacted American Honda Motor Co., but they have refused to offer further assistance, claiming that performing the initial recall brace satisfies their legal obligation. I can provide pictures when requested.”
