| Description of the problem | It is more of a concern than a complaint as of right now. Transport canada has issued a recall for 2007-2011 honda cr-vs (https://wwwapps. Tc. Gc. Ca/saf-sec-sur/7/vrdb-bdrv/search-recherche/detail. Aspx? Lang=eng&rn=2019025) that operate in ontario, quebec and maritime canada where road salt is used for winter road de-icing. I live in state which borders quebec. We have a similar climate and rely heavily on road salt for winter road de-icing. The recall issued by transport canada (# 2019025) identifies that road salt can cause the rear frame to rust. And this corrosion could potentially result in a rear-trailing arm separating from the vehicle. Honda has provided a remedy. Vehicles are inspected to ascertain the safety of the vehicle. Vehicles that pass the inspection are applied a sealant to protect against future corrosion. Vehicles that fail the inspection are either repaired or bought back by honda. Given that usage of road salt in northeastern states that border canada is most likely comparable to the identified region where the transport canada recall applies, shouldn't vehicles operating in regions of the us that rely heavily on road salt be subject to the same level of safety scrutiny? |
