I purchased my vehicle used in 2019 and immediately noticed a loud creaking noise from the front passenger area, especially in colder weather when driving over bumps at low speeds. By 2024, the noise became louder, more frequent, and occurred in all temperatures. In October 2024, I lost control of my vehicle and nearly flipped. Warning lights briefly appeared, indicating possible suspension issues, but they disappeared before I could diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to continue driving despite the safety risk. In February 2025, I had a flat tire on the front passenger side and discovered it was nearly bald—far more worn than the other tires of the same age. Upon removal, it became clear that the front lower control arm was in a dangerously unnatural state and needed replacement. I recalled seeing a 2012 recall for this exact part in my Honda account, but when I entered my VIN, it stated the recall didn’t apply—likely due to age rather than the actual defect. This is a life-or-death issue that could easily lead to a fatal crash. Honda must address this immediately.

The federal safety agency recall number: 12v‑124 mfr campaign id: s33 campaign description: front lower arm weld recall date: 03/22/2012 summary: honda is recalling certain model year 2006 cr-v vehicles. The weld strength attaching the sub-frame bushing collar to the passenger-side front lower arm is insufficient. The collar can separate from the arm due to vibration while driving. Safety risk: as a result, a loss of steering can occur, increasing the risk of crash. Remedy: honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production lot stamp on the passenger-side front lower arm and, if necessary, replace the lower arm, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about april 17, 2012. Owners may contact honda customer service at 1‑800‑999‑1009. I have had this part break on my 2006 honda crv twice. This is the same part that is listed in the recall. I would like to have my VIN added to the campaign because I am worried that it will happen again and affect the safety of my driving. When I turn, I am able to feel the steering not as stable as it should be.

Honda dealer in flagstaff, az, indicated that the front compliance bushings are torn on my2016 honda crv and need to be replaced. I have learned that the honda bushings are not made of a solid/quality component and are failing at unusual rates which equate to unsafe driving and costly repair for the consumer. Is there a concern for suspension/alignment and steering problems due to torn bushings and is this related to the control arm bushing recall for honda crv 2006 id#12v124000?
