WASHINGTON - Honda Motor Co. is recalling about 10,800 Accord sedans and Pilot sport utility vehicles to prevent possible front suspension failure.

The Japanese automaker says the recall covers late model year 2010-2011 Accord sedans and 2011 Pilot SUVs in the United States. Honda says problems with the machinery used to tighten spindle nuts on the front axles on both vehicles could cause the front suspension to fail.

The company says a flaw in the software for the equipment used in the assembly process was discovered at its plant in Alabama. Honda says it expects to notify owners this week and the repairs will be conducted at dealerships.

Honda owners can go to www.recalls.honda.com or call (800) 999-1009 and select option 4.

I don't mean to be smart, but why would Fiesta owners be concerned about a Honda recall?

Some people own more than one vehicle.

Also, last I checked this section of the forum read something like:

The Faction Watercooler
All non-Fiesta auto discussion.

Just sayin'.

My apologies. The forum is more than what I use it for. Peace.

No problem. And upon re-reading my post, I didn't mean to come off as snarky. I'm still getting used to the "niceness" of this forum. The other car forum I frequent is dripping with sarcasm and insults (in good humor, for the most part) which I've become acustomed to both reading and posting.
