Honda has issued a recall on nearly 250,000 vehicles.

The company announced the recall over a crankshaft defect that could cause the connecting rod bearing to seize, potentially causing the engine to stall or fail to crank. This could result in damage to the engine and could also cause the vehicle to stop while driving.

The issue was caused due to improper equipment settings being used during production.
