Hondas Fahrzeuge sind für Nagetiere unwiderstehlich

Honda and several other automakers are trying to save money and be more environmentally responsible by using soy-based coatings on fuel lines, electrical wiring, and other key components of their cars. While soy is less expensive and greener than traditional petroleum-based coatings, there is a major downside: it attracts rodents, which have chewed through the fuel lines and wiring in thousands of vehicles.

Rodent Damage is Expensive to Repair

Damage caused by rodents isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive, too. What’s more, Honda requires car owners to foot the bill for expenses, even though Honda should cover the damage under the warranty. As a result, some consumers have filed lawsuits against the car company.

Unsafe auto damage by rodents

Not only is the nuisance caused by these critters costly, it can also be very dangerous. These soy-coated wires can be chewed through, causing brakes to fail, fuel leakage, dangerous exposed electrical wires, or many other potentially hazardous conditions.
