Filing in context
The Strut is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 32 Honda notifications from 2025 in this archive. For scale, 956 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 7 years.
Defect
In the front suspension, insufficient torque control during assembly of the nut securing the damper unit to the damper mount has resulted in low clamping force on some units due to manufacturing variation. When the steering is turned, play develops at the damper rod joint, subjecting the area around the joint to excessive stress. If the condition is allowed to continue, the rod may fracture, compromising driving stability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front suspension damper unit, nut, damper mount, thrust plate, and surrounding components (including washers) with new parts and tighten to the specified torque.

状況
前輪サスペンションにおいて、ダンパユニットとダンパマウントを締め付けるナットの締付け管理が不十分なため、製造ばらつきにより締結力が低いものがある。そのため、ハンドル転舵時にダンパユニットのロッド締結部にガタが生じ、締結部近傍に過大な応力が加わり、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、当該ロッドが折損し、走行安定性を損なうおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前輪サスペンションのダンパユニット、ナット、ダンパマウント、スラストプレート及び周辺部品（ワッシャ等）を新品に交換し、規定トルクで締め付ける。
