Replacing the Engine Short Blocks
Honda has announced a small, but important recall of 4-cylinder engines found in the 2014-15 Accord and 2015 CR-V. A manufacturing error might lead to serious engine damage. I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty sure you need one of those in good working order to get from A to B.
More information on carcomplaints.comHonda says the automated system that built the engine might not have verified the connecting rod bolt was tightened properly. A loose rod bolt can cause engine damage and cause the engine to stall without any warning.
