What's wrong?
The right front lower control arm on the 2024 Honda Prologue is a suspension link that helps hold the front wheel in the correct position. As the vehicle steers, brakes, and rides over bumps, this arm keeps the wheel tied to the body structure while still allowing the suspension to move.
On affected Prologue vehicles, the aluminum used to make the right front lower control link was contaminated during the extrusion process. A leftover end remnant from a prior aluminum extrusion stayed on the equipment and mixed into the next link, leaving weaker material inside the part. Honda says that contamination can make the control link susceptible to fracture.
If the link fractures, the suspension loses part of the structure that keeps the right front wheel positioned correctly. The recall repair uses replacement components that do not have the contaminated material. There is no warning sign before failure, so an owner should not expect advance notice from the vehicle.

The inspection, replacement part, and labor are free under the recall.
