Vehicle Affected: 2007 Honda CR-VRelated Recall: NHTSA Recall Campaign Number 23V228000 (Rear Frame Stiffener Brackets)Description of Incident:I am reporting a severe safety issue regarding how a Honda dealership and American Honda Motor Co. are executing Safety Recall 23V228. I presented my vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for the rear frame rust inspection. (Lundgren Honda of Auburn MA) The technician "passed" the vehicle and offered to install the remedy support brace because the specific trailing arm bolt hole could technically receive a bolt. However, the dealer completely ignored a catastrophic structural failure directly adjacent to the recall site. The actual boxed structural frame rail just one inch above the bolt hole has completely disintegrated, leaving giant holes and heavily flaking, hollowed-out metal. Per Honda's official recall service bulletin instructions, the reinforcement brace must be securely anchored to structurally sound frame metal. Slapping a bracket onto a tiny piece of metal while the supporting frame rail above it is entirely gone creates an extreme liability and does not fix the safety risk of a suspension collapse. I contacted Honda Corporate Customer Support to escalate this. Despite providing clear photographic proof that the structural integrity of the frame rail is gone, Honda is giving me severe pushback and delaying action on my open case file. They are ignoring a severe structural failure at the exact recall site to avoid their legal obligation for a vehicle buyback. The vehicle remains an immediate highway hazard. I have attached photographic evidence showing the gaping hole in the frame rail directly next to the recall bolt location. The car would not pass a safety inspection from a MA State inspection facility, and they refused to sticker it, or put tires on it....
STRUCTURE
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that there was corrosion and frame rust on the vehicle caused by road salt and moisture, which caused the rear of the vehicle to collapse. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure). The dealer was contacted and referred the contact back to the dealer who repaired the vehicle under the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 258,000.
STEERING,SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2007 Honda CR-V was repaired under NHTSA Recall 23V-228 for corrosion in the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, a condition Honda's own filing says can allow the trailing arm to detach while driving. My vehicle received the support-brace remedy rather than a full structural repair. Since that July 18, 2023 repair, the vehicle has developed Right Rear (RR) tracking instability, whooshing and high-pitched whistling noises, tire bead damage, and toxic exhaust fumes entering the cabin. The component at issue is the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, along with the related RR suspension/tracking behavior and RR tire. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and is currently located in Wilmington, Delaware. Because corrosion in this area can allow the trailing arm to detach while driving, and my vehicle now shows RR tracking instability, pulling, and a sheared RR tire bead along with toxic exhaust fumes in the cabin, I believe these conditions risk loss of vehicle control and expose occupants to hazardous fumes while driving. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent shop. Union Park Honda could not duplicate the noise I reported on October 30, 2023, and independent shops since December 2024 have performed repairs but have not confirmed a root cause for the tracking, noises, or fumes. No formal inspection has been performed by Honda's engineering staff, police, or an insurer. Mechanics at Union Park Honda and four independent shops (Penny Hill, Firestone, Harvey Road Automotive, and Mighty Muffler) have attempted repairs, but none has performed a structural or root-cause inspection. No warning lamps or dashboard messages appeared at any point. The first symptom I noticed was the whooshing noise, immediately after the July 18, 2023 recall repair.

I bought the 2007 Honda CRV in 2022. Approximately 1 month ago my keys were locked inside. 3 reputable locksmiths could not unlock any doors. My extra fob or extra key will not unlock any doors. The passenger door had been making a ticking then grinding noise when it locks itself. All 3 locksmiths said this a serious safety problem and the actuator is at fault. The only way to get in was to retrieve my set of keys out of the wedged door. I haven't received any recalls on actuators but there was a class action in 2015-2016 (which I was not the owner then) that stated ALL 2007, 2008 and a few 2009 Honda CRVs were to have the actuators replaced at Honda expense. I'm afraid that if my disabled son is inside and it locks itself, we won't be able to get him out. Please assist me in this matter. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
SUSPENSION
Where the frame connects to the right rear control arm has broken loose. I had the recall repair done in 2023 for this issue and now it has failed. The dealership said the vehicle is too rusted to repair
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Complaint: Both rear doors and the front passenger door no longer lock or unlock electronically using the key fob or interior switch. The failure began gradually and worsened over time. I recently had the driver door replaced by A Honda dealer as part of the warranty but the passenger and back door were not part of the warranty and dealership has also confirmed the lock failures. This creates serious safety risks: •Doors randomly unlock while driving and while parked •Cannot reliably open doors in an emergency •At times, the vehicle must be left unlocked •I transport young children, making manual locking unsafe Additionally, the vehicle has a persistent engine oil leak that mechanics cannot permanently fix. Oil loss between changes risks engine damage, loss of power, or fire. I request NHTSA investigate these defects and consider a recall for the failing door locks and the engine oil leak.

There was a safety recall for the rear arm control and excessive rust, Honda said they fixed it back in 2018… out of no where my car lost control and caused me to crash, I brought the car back to Honda and the rear arm bracket broke off due to excessive rust however Honda states it was repaired and there is nothing they can do, they won’t even look at the vehicle.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Recall #UE3 2007-11 CR-V Rear Frame Brace safety recall
STRUCTURE
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction regarding the handling of the recall for my 2007 Honda CR-V due to frame corrosion. During the recall service, only a bracket was installed under the wheel well, addressing a single area despite extensive rust present throughout the frame and underbody. I believe the vehicle should have been considered for a buyback rather than a limited repair. Recently, my vehicle failed its safety inspection due to a rust hole in the frame, making it unsafe to drive and only suitable for scrap. When I contacted Honda for further assistance, I was informed that only recall-related issues would be addressed, and no additional support was offered. The presence of severe rust and a compromised frame poses significant safety risks, including: •Increased likelihood of structural failure in the event of a collision, which could result in serious injury or death. •Reduced effectiveness of critical safety components, such as seat belts and airbags, due to weakened mounting points. •Higher risk of suspension or wheel detachment while driving, potentially causing loss of vehicle control. I am deeply concerned about the safety implications and the inadequate resolution of the recall.
SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
It is a 2007 Honda CRV . The whole rear and frame and control arm is completely rusted out and rusted into. Was told it is very unsafe to drive and dangerous. And I can’t get Honda to do anything about it .
