An official Health Canada notice concerns Honda. On certain vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system, the gas-filled struts (which help to raise and support the liftgate) may be prone to early life failures due to a manufacturing flaw. This could allow the liftgate to drop suddenly, placing anyone beneath or near the gate at risk of personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace both liftgate struts. Published 2013-04-11.
