An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Honda S660) - Repair. Suspension system (front-wheel suspension) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Suspension system (front-wheel suspension). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: In the front-wheel suspension, an inappropriate assembly method for the resin bearing can cause the bearing to be shaved when tightening the nut securing the damper unit and damper mount. Fragments can become trapped against the washer seating surface, resulting in insufficient nut clamping force in some units. In addition, an inappropriate tool used to tighten this nut results in insufficient clamping force in some units. Consequently, steering can cause play at the damper unit rod fastening point, applying excessive stress near that point. Continued use may, in the worst case, cause the rod to break, impairing driving stability. Published 2025-04-17.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 5646. ■ Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the front-wheel suspension with an improved part.
