Affected Model Years: 2016 through 2020  The engine in my vehicle is the Honda J35, V-6 which was the subject of a NHTSA mandated recall of approximately 250,000 Honda and Acura vehicles in 2023.  I have observed a pronounced engine knock when the vehicle is at idle, that intensifies when the car is driven.  I brought the car to a Honda dealership (DCH Honda of Nanuet) where it was confirmed that the connecting rod bearing problem was the cause.  The dealership advised that a bearing replacement would not be feasible, and that an engine replacement would be necessary (see attached).  I contacted American Honda and advised them of the same and a case was opened for me.  (Case # [XXX]) But I was advised that there was no recall on my vehicle and no current, applicable warranty.   I am presently awaiting a call from a Honda Case Manager on my request for financial assistance to defray the quoted cost of $8,057, plus applicable sales tax for the dealership to replace the defective engine.  Based on the documented history of this problem and the associated potential for an accident that this is a considerable safety issue.
