2010 Honda CR-V Suspension Problems

“While driving down the road, the car began to shake, and I noticed my passenger tire looked weird and thought maybe I had a flat tire. I pulled over to change the tire out. Upon further inspection, I saw that the trailing arm had rusted and broken off of the chassis. Luckily, I was driving slowly and on a rural road, but at higher speeds I believe it would have caused me to lose control of the vehicle. There were no warning indicators that something was going wrong. …”

“Honda has issued a recall for 2007-2011 CRVs due to rust leading to failure of the rear trailing arms. Manufacturer Recall NumberXDZ NHTSA Recall Number23V-228 However, Honda has limited its recall only to 22 states and DC, claiming only those use road salts. This is overly limited.

They advised it could detach/break off, and my ability to steer safely to a stop would be affected. …”

“I OWN A 2010 HONDA CRV EX. The rear sub frame that carries the axle and suspension on the left side broke while making a left- hand turn from a restaurant. The sub frame that attaches to the unibody had rusted and the bolt connecting the suspension had pulled the frame section out. The car was inspected by my insurance company AARP Hartford and denied payment. They considered this a mechanical issue. The suv was towed to Honda North in Butler PA where we bought the vehicle new for inspection. …”

“On my 2010 Honda CRV, the rear frame stiffener became excessively corroded over time which resulted in frame stiffener perforation . On 10/18/22, the rear trailing arm separated from the vehicle's body while I was driving, forcing loss of control until I could bring the vehicle to a stop. I called my auto service provider to come and examine the problem which he confirmed that the rear trailing arm had separated from the body, the car was undrivable, and needed to be towed to Butler's Body Shop. …”
