Honda and Acura Recalling 253,000 Vehicles Due to Braking Issue

Honda has announced a recall of two hundred and fifty-three thousand vehicles.

Over two hundred incidents have been recorded where the vehicles brake on their own and the steering locks.

When that occurs it takes control away from the driver and can cause the vehicle to veer.

No injuries or accidents have been reported, but it is a very dangerous issue.

In the US, the recall includes 2005-06 Acura MDXs, 2005 Acura RLs, and 2005 Honda Pilots.

2004-2006 Honda Odysseys in Australia, Canada, Germany, and Mexico are also under the recall.
