Alleged Engine Defect in Certain Honda CR-V, Civic and Accord Vehicles

Owners and Lessees of Honda CR-V, Honda Civic (2019-2021) and Honda Accord (2021) Vehicles Equipped with “Earth Dreams” 1.5L Direct Injection Engines May Have Legal Claims. 

On March 23, 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Motor Company, Ltd..

According to the class action complaint, Honda, despite its longstanding knowledge of a material and manufacturing defect, has failed to disclose to Plaintiffs and other consumers that the “Class Vehicles” [i.e., Honda CR-V, Honda Civic (2019-2021) and Honda Accord (2021)] are predisposed to an engine defect that causes fuel contamination of the engine oil, resulting in oil dilution, decreased oil viscosity, premature wear and ultimate failure of the engines, engine bearings and other internal engine components and an increased cost of maintenance.

Premature failures, according to the class action complaint, also can result in stalling events and other dangerous situations for Class Vehicle occupants and others on the road.
