NHTSA Complaint #11516365 — 2010 HONDA CR-V

Honda has issued a recall for 2007-2011 CRVs due to rust leading to failure of the rear trailing arms. Manufacturer Recall NumberXDZ NHTSA Recall Number23V-228 However, Honda has limited its recall only to 22 states and DC, claiming only those use road salts. This is overly limited. Many states use road salts in parts of the state, including California and Nevada, where I live. The official City of Reno website clearly states that my city uses a 24% salt brine solution on roads in the winter. Areas of California directly adjacent to Reno also use similar salts, and many other "dry and warm" states also have mountainous areas where snow and ice cause the use of road salt. https://www.reno.gov/government/departments/public-works/maintenance-operations/street-maintenance/snow-and-ice-control#:~:text=The%20City%20is%20using%20Salt,and%20inclines%20with%20salt%20brine. There is visible rust on my suspension, even though I live in a state Honda is not including in its recall. I am asking that NHTSA order Honda to increase the scope of its recall to include ALL states that use road salt in any part or portion of the state. The southwest is full of mountains, and snow: California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and all other western states should be included in the recall. Many lives are potentially at stake, and Honda should not artificially limit the recall to states that use road salt over 100% of the state. Take a look at snow levels in California and Northern Nevada now: road salt is a fact of life for 4-7 months of the year for many of us. Thank you for your consideration.
