The failure of the connecting rod bearing can lead to engine damage, stalling, and potential safety risks.
An engine rod bearing holds the crankshaft and connecting rod in place as they rotate, according to the auto eCommerce site, CarParts.com.
When the bearing fails, drivers can hear a rapping noise in their engine.
While the reported engine failures are not linked to the previous recall, the investigation aims to address the significant number of incidents reported in Honda and Acura models dating back to 2016.
