Reading this-only 1% of engines affected? Are they going to replace ALL of them? Good of Honda to step up and fix them BEFORE they grenade (unlike a different Asian manufacturer that prevaricates about the actual issue and waits for them to self-destruct before doing anything...)!

The recall indicates that 1% of the products have a defect. Clearly, they did not screw up all the crankshafts. As that would indicate zero quality control. But I can't resist... A quality 5W-30 synthetic, changed at sane intervals, would have prevented rod bearing failure.

I wonder if people will caution against Honda V6 engines going forward.
The head issues on Pentastar engines was something around 0.1% of engines affected and people to this day caution others about it.

Honda recalls nearly 250K vehicles because rod bearing can fail.

“Honda says in documents posted Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that connecting rod bearings in the engine can wear and seize due to a manufacturing error, damaging the engines. The engines could run improperly or stall while being driven, increasing the risk of a...

I think @The Critic mentioned something about lower end failures in these newer J35 engines. Wonder if it the same failure he was seeing or heard about?
