The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday it is opening a probe into 1.4 million Honda vehicles after reports of serious engine issues.
据路透社报道，周一，NHTSA（美国国家公路交通安全管理局）表示，在报告了严重的发动机问题后，将对140万辆本田汽车展开调查。
Honda in November 2023 recalled 249,000 vehicles in the United States with a 3.5 liter V6 engine after the Japanese automaker said a manufacturing defect in the engine crankshaft could cause the connecting rod bearing to prematurely wear and seize, leading to engine failure.
2023年11月，本田在美国召回了249,000辆3.5升V6发动机的汽车。此前这家日本汽车制造商表示，发动机曲轴的制造缺陷可能导致连杆轴承过早磨损和卡住，导致发动机故障。
The U.S. auto safety agency said it has 173 reports of the issue in various Honda and Acura vehicles from the 2016-2020 model years. NHTSA's probe is to determine the severity of the issue and to determine if the vehicles not included in the 2023 recall should be covered.
NHTSA表示，从2016年至2020年的各款本田和讴歌汽车中，有173份关于该问题的报告。NHTSA的调查是为了确定问题的严重性，并确定2023年召回中不包括的车辆是否应该也包括在内。
Honda said Monday it was aware of the probe and "has already been in communication with the agency on this topic and will continue to cooperate with the NHTSA through the query process."
周一，本田表示，已经知晓此调查，并“已经就此问题与NHTSA进行了沟通，并将在整个调查过程中继续与之合作。”
Honda first opened an investigation into the issue in 2020 and spent several years investigating before it announced a recall.
2020年，本田首次对该问题展开了调查，并在宣布召回前花了数年时间进行调查。
The automaker said last year it had 1,450 warranty claims tied to the recall. Under the recall, dealers are inspecting the vehicles will repair or replace the engine if needed.
本田表示，去年有1,450起保修索赔与召回有关。根据召回，经销商正在检查车辆，如果需要，将修理或更换发动机。
NHTSA said all of the 173 reports "display failures that have characteristics consistent with those addressed" in the 2023 recall but are not covered.
NHTSA表示，所有173份报告“显示的故障与2023年召回中解决的故障特征一致”，但却未涵盖在召回。
The investigation covers 2016-2020 model year Acura MDX, 2018-2020 Acura TLX, 2016-2020 Honda Pilot, 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline and 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey vehicles.
此次调查，涵盖2016-2020车型年讴歌MDX、2018-2020讴歌TLX、2016-2020本田Pilot、2017-2019本田Ridgeline，以及2018-2020本田奥德赛车辆。
