This recall is serious but hardly means that Honda or any manufacturer that issues a recall is a bad brand. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2023/11/17/honda-recall-acura-pilot-ridgeline-odyssey/71617360007/

In my time as a factory trained Porsche Tech (1993 to 2003) we had lots of recalls on Porsche cars. Audi had them too.
The brand name really doesn’t have anything to do with recalls. All makes and models can have issues, some issues occur after some years of production. In some instances like the Takata airbag recall, it becomes a mutli product lines issue. In that case its a vendor issue.
While this is true, some parts are so simple and have been designed/updated with so much experience and feedback, the defect can only be because of Quality control or Bad design.
Like if shopping around get them the material that is so cheap it is not the same, if the parts weren’t treated or finished like designed, if the tolerances are the issue or some other problems you would think should not be an after decades of engineering in engines.
I would appreciate more infos on if manufacturers have something like design rules that would say any rod bearing for cranks of X diameter,x oil grade made to spin to x RPM and up to X operating temperature needs to have X fitment and X metal treatment to avoid this issue.
