American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) has initiated an investigation into an oil leak originating from the half shaft support bearing in specific 2022-2024 Honda Civic 1.5L vehicles.

The Issue: Front Right Driveshaft Leak
Owners of 2022-2024 Honda Civic 1.5L models may observe an oil leak from the half shaft support bearing, typically discovered during a routine inspection of the vehicle's driveline. This condition indicates a potential problem with the sealing or integrity of the driveshaft assembly, specifically at the support bearing.
Vehicles Under Investigation
This investigation specifically targets 2022, 2023, and 2024 Honda Civic models equipped with the 1.5L engine. The focus is on understanding why the front right driveshaft leak occurs in these particular vehicles.
