American Honda Motor Company is recalling 279 model year 2021 Acura RDX and model year 2022 CR-V Hybrid cars.

The automobile manufacturer said a component in the right or left front driveshaft may have been improperly heat-treated, which could result in driveshaft failure while in motion.

The company noted that driveshaft failure could cause a sudden loss of drive power or cause the vehicle to roll away when parked if the parking brake is not applied.

Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury, agency report said.

In connection with what to do in rectifying the error, Honda says dealers will replace the right or left front driveshaft — as necessary — free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 24, 2022.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Honda Customer Service on (888) 234-2138. Honda’s numbers for this recall are BBY, NBW, and OBX.
