NHTSA Complaint #11519571 — 2010 HONDA CR-V

The rear trailing arm on the driver side of the vehicle broke away from the frame causing the wheel assembly to jam under the vehicle, bringing it to an abrupt stop. My daughter was driving the car at the time. The failure occurred while she was pulling into the entrance of the hospital where she works, blocking the entrance to the hospital. Fortunately the failure did not occur minutes earlier while she was driving on the highway. Service technicians at Honda of Mankato, MN confirmed the trailing arm broke away due to frame corrosion. The vehicle is currently located at Honda of Mankato. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
