The 2024 Honda Prologue has a limited recall for a potentially fracturing right front lower control arm, affecting only 39 vehicles. More widespread issues reported by owners include an overly sensitive collision system that causes abrupt braking when backing up, even without obstacles, and a knocking or clicking noise originating from the steering/suspension, specifically the CV joint, with parts for repair being backordered. While owners are discussing these problems on forums like Reddit, there are significantly fewer formal complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Filing a complaint with NHTSA is crucial because these official reports help trigger investigations and potential safety recalls. Dealerships are unlikely to initiate recalls due to potential costs and impact on their relationship with the manufacturer. A recall ensures faster resolution, free repairs under warranty, and potentially prevents future out-of-warranty repair costs which could be thousands of dollars, based on similar issues in other vehicles like the Chevy Bolt's steering rack. Owners must file complaints directly with NHTSA using their VIN to legitimize the issue and contribute to a possible recall, benefiting themselves and the wider owner community. The reviewer also reported an issue with the HondaLink app's unreliable door unlock function as a safety concern. Reporting problems helps ensure vehicles are safer for everyone on the road.
