Thousands of Hondas in recall over safety
HONDA Motor Co is recalling Accord, Civic and Element cars to address problems with an ignition switch that could allow the key to be removed without the transmission shifted into park, its third recall over the problem since 2003.
Honda said the most recent recall involved 384,220 vehicles and includes 2003 model year Accord and Civics and 2003-2004 versions of the Honda Element. Honda told the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the defect with the automatic transmissions could lead to a vehicle rolling away and increase the risk of a crash.
The Japanese auto maker said the recall would involve about 197,000 Accords, 117,000 Civics and 69,000 Elements. The company said it received several complaints about the ignition interlock and "is aware of a small number of related incidents, including one that resulted in a minor injury."
