Honda to recall 204,500 vehicles over braking system problemApril 19, 2013 - 10:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Honda has announced plans to recall 204,500 of its CR-V, Odyssey and Acura RDX vehicles from 2012 and 2013 due to an issue with the braking system, SlashGear reports. When temperatures drop below freezing, a problem with one component could allow the driver to shift without pressing the brake first, something that hasn’t caused any issues, instead being discovered in an internal investigation. The numbers break down to 59,000 2012 and 2013 Honda Odyssey minivans, 128,000 2012 and 2013 Honda CR-V SUVs, and 17,500 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. Those with an affected vehicle will have a component in the brake shift interlock system replaced with one that isn’t prone to failure in sub-freezing temperatures. According to Honda, no customers have complained or experienced any injuries from the problem. Snail-mail notifications will go out to those with one of the affected vehicles some time in the middle of May.
