Honda Recall March 2010

Early this year, Honda issued a worldwide recall of 646,000 compact cars so that it can examine window switches that can overheat if exposed to liquid. Today, March 16, 2010, Honda Honda Motor Co. Ltd. issued another recall on its more than 400,000 Odyssey and Element vehicles after complaints about a potential problem with the bake pedals.

Business Journal Reports:

The Japanese automaker’s American Honda Motor Co. subsidiary said Tuesday the recall applies to 344,000 Odyssey minivans made in Lincoln, Ala., and 68,000 Element utility vehicles assembled in East Liberty. The recall is confined to 2007 and 2008 models.

The potential problem lies in the automobiles’ vehicle stability assist modulator, which could slowly take in air and cause the brake pedal to go soft.

Owners will be notified starting at the end of April to schedule repairs at dealerships. After April 19, owners will be able to go to recalls.honda.com or call 1-800-999-1009 to determine whether their vehicle is included in the recall.
