Honda to Recall 250,000 Vehicles Globally for Braking Problems

Honda Motor Co Ltd will recall nearly 250,000 vehicles globally, including sedans, minivans and SUVs, due to braking problems, the automaker said on Thursday.

Four models are affected by the recall: the Odyssey minivan, Acura RL sedan, Acura MDX crossover SUV and Honda Pilot SUV, all made between 2004 and 2005.

The stability assist system in the vehicles may malfunction and the brake could operate even when the driver is not pressing the pedal, said spokeswoman Tomoko Takemori. The vehicles may also brake more strongly than intended when the system malfunctions, she said.

No accidents or injuries have been reported from the problem, Takemori said.

About 183,500 Pilot, MDX and RL vehicles in the United States are affected by the recall. Honda is also recalling 57,000 vehicles in Japan, including about 42,566 Odyssey minivans. Read more in Reuters.

  1. NOT every one of these Models is included in the Recall. The recall is vin-specific only and includes only vehicles FROM amongst these model cars. So before you start getting excited, check your vin number first..
