About 25,000 Honda vehicles including its premium Acura brand have been recalled due to possible miscast components that might cause an abrupt and total engine failure.
The 3.5-liter V6 engine is the identical in all of the recalled cars.
"The connecting rod bearing can prematurely wear and seize due to a manufacturing defect of the engine crankshaft,"
Honda notifies the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "And run improperly, stall,
stop while driving, and/or not start, increasing the risk of a fire, crash, or injury" is what happens to an engine that has seized connecting rod.
