‘Manufacturing error’ steers Honda recall of nearly 250k vehicles for engine stalls while driving

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that it was forced to recall 248,999 Honda vehicles due to a manufacturing error.

According to NHTSA, the manufacturing issue could cause connecting rod bearings in the engines of affected vehicles to wear and seize, damaging the engines and causing them to not operate properly or stall while driving. This increases the risk of fire, collision, and injury.
