Honda Recall Over 500 Vehicles
Honda Motor Co, as the world's largest vehicle manufacturer said on Monday it was recalling more than 428,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada because of a defect that could cause the cars to roll away if they are parked incorrectly.
Over 500 vehicles manufactured between April 1 and June 15, 2010 had a cable that was incorrectly set to the shift lever. The defect may cause the gear to shift incorrectly, causing the wrong gear to be selected.
The Honda recall covers Accord, Civic and Element models from the 2003 and 2004 model years in the United States.
Honda is contacting owners by phone and mail to and arrange for the vehicles to be repaired free of charge.
Honda said that in some situations a part known as the ignition interlock lever could fail. Honda said it would begin notifying consumers of the recall in September
