RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

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, inadequate control of tightening the nut securing the damper unit and damper mount results in low clamping force in some units due to manufacturing variation. 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) 5645. ■ Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the front-wheel suspension damper units, nuts, damper mounts, thrust plates and surrounding parts (washers, etc.) with new parts and tighten to the specified torque.
