## What is wrong

American Honda Motor Co. \(Honda\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Accord L4 vehicles manufactured July 29, 2014, to July 31, 2014, 2015 Accord L4 vehicles manufactured August 14, 2014, to January 30, 2015, and 2015 CR\-V vehicles manufactured September 9, 2014, to February 6, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been assembled with improperly torqued connecting rod bolts, which can cause the engine to lose power or leak oil.


## What can happen

Loss of engine power may result in a vehicle stall, increasing the risk of a crash.  If the engine leaks oil in the proximity of hot engine or exhaust components, there is an increased risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine short block, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's number for this recall is JP2 \(for Accord models\) and JP3 \(for CR\-V models\).


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
