Probably QC issues with parts makers ... But Honda is not the only one with issues. My son and his wife both used to drive KIAs and both had their motors seize at around 80m miles. Service dept was not surprised and invoked the KIA/Hyundai program wherein the motor was replaced for free.
The more crap they put in cars the more likely the car will need repairs.

An X-19??!!
My dad had a yellow one that was fitting because it was the biggest lemon we ever had. I drove it 4 times..I counted. It died on me 2x. Once it cooled and restarted the other time had to be towed.
that car drove my dad to grief, he would work on it for a day and 3 days later something new would break.
this was late 80s and it was a 70 something model if I recall.

Who can forget your neighbor’s Grenada that detonated so bad it sounded like a diesel? My very first car was a brand new 1977 2-door Ford Granada with the 302 V8. I have now owned 19 new cars and two used cars (one inherited) and that Granada was the only vehicle that I never had to take in for warranty work. That 302 was great.

So they have to pull the oil pan. Then pull all the connecting rod caps and inspect for damage to the crank journals. Basically look for aluminum from the connecting rod on the crank. One down side to this is that if they get any dirt in their during reassembly or if they screw up the torque then it would be possible for them to create a problem where none existed.

That should alter the current groupthink about the bulletproof quality of the Japanese car build. But great kudos for them offering to repair the engines. That will actually be beneficial in the long run for them.

Looks to be a considerable amount of gravy work for Honda techs in the near future.
