Honda Prologue CV Joint & Axle Lawsuit

Custer, et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

Case Information

  • Case Number: 2:26-cv-01330
  • Case Status: Case in Progress
  • Court: United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania
  • Filed: March 2, 2026

Lemberg Law represents plaintiffs in a proposed class action lawsuit against American Honda Motor Co., Inc. The lawsuit alleges that 2024–2026 Honda Prologue vehicles contain defective front drive CV axles that deteriorate prematurely, impairing steering, propulsion, and drivability.

Complaint

The complaint centers on a defect found in the front drive axle assemblies of the following Honda Prologue model years:

  • 2024 Honda Prologue
  • 2025 Honda Prologue
  • 2026 Honda Prologue

According to the suit, the front drive axles suffer from internal joint irregularities or degradation that cause progressive deterioration. Many owners first notice the defect within the first few thousand miles of purchase or lease. When it manifests, drivers experience abnormal clicking, clinking, or ratcheting noises during turns, along with impaired steering response and drivability. In more advanced cases, the axle can disintegrate entirely, leading to potential loss of vehicle control.

Key Allegations

  • Defective CV Joints/Drive Axles: Premature internal joint failure produces loud clicking and ratcheting noises when turning, and can escalate to axle breakage and loss of vehicle control.
  • No Effective Repairs Available: Honda has acknowledged the defect internally via a “Tech Line” publication but has only authorized replacement of defective parts with the same defective components — a temporary fix that repeatedly fails.
  • Pre-Sale Knowledge Concealed: Honda obtained knowledge of the defect through pre-production testing, warranty data, dealer repair orders, and consumer complaints, yet failed to disclose it to buyers and lessees at the time of sale.
  • Diminished Vehicle Value: Dealers have appraised affected Prologues at less than half of MSRP due to the known defect.

Claims for Relief

The plaintiffs seek relief under federal warranty law, Pennsylvania and New York state laws, and consumer protection statutes. Specific claims include:

  • Violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
  • Breach of Express Warranty (Pennsylvania and New York)
  • Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability
  • Violation of the Pennsylvania Lemon Law
  • Unjust Enrichment

The complaint demands monetary compensation for repair costs, diminished vehicle value, a vehicle recall, and replacement of defective components with non-defective parts under an extended warranty.
