Honda was named in the July 2024 Senators Wyden and Markey's letter to the FTC accusing them of selling customer data to third party Verisk, who then resold the data in the form of "driver reports", which insurance companies used to increase customer's insurance premiums.[1]

As of January 2025, Honda has a Memorandum of Understanding to merge with Nissan.[2]

In March 2025, Honda settled with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) for violations, for which they payed a $632,500 fine.[3]
