Honda ties for leading automaker in Cars.com 2022 American-Made Index with four models in top 10. Honda’s commitment to building products in America was on display in the Cars.com 2022 American-Made Index® — with four Honda models in the top 10 and seven Honda and Acura models ranking among the top 20. Honda vehicles in the top 10 are the Alabama-made Honda Passport SUV, Ridgeline pickup, Odyssey minivan and Pilot SUV. Three Ohio-made Acura models — the Acura flagship, fourth generation MDX SUV, RDX premium sport crossover and TLX premium sport sedan — placed 14th, 15th and 16th respectively. More than two-thirds of Honda automobiles sold in the U.S. are made in America. All four of the Honda models in the top 10 — Passport, Ridgeline, Odyssey and Pilot — also were designed and developed by Honda engineers in the U.S. and are produced exclusively in Lincoln, Alabama. Moreover, the engines that power these vehicles also are built at Honda’s Alabama Auto Plant, with the transmissions produced nearby at Honda’s transmission plant in Tallapoosa, Georgia.

Cabin Air (Dust and Pollen) Filter: The cabin air filter, also called a dust and pollen filter, in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system helps keep pollen, dust, and airborne contaminates out of your vehicle’s passenger cabin. It filters both incoming and recirculated air. Ignoring it can lead to reduced air conditioner and heater air flow and performance, increased amount of airborne contaminants in the passenger cabin, and mold growth with musty odors. Taking care of it helps optimize your vehicle’s HVAC system performance and ensures a comfortable breathing environment with fresh, filtered air. Honda Genuine Cabin Air Filters are engineered to deliver maximum filtration and system performance, meeting strict Honda factory standards for performance, quality, and durability.

Brake Fluid: Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that transfers and multiplies force from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. It also lubricates brake system components. Ignoring it can lead to reduced braking performance, moisture absorption, and corrosion. Taking care of it ensures optimal braking system performance and prevents potential damage. Honda Genuine Brake Fluid is formulated to Honda specifications, maintaining effectiveness and compatibility with Honda brake system components.
