Honda Recalls


Honda Recalls:A part called a vehicle stability assist modulator should be modified on 344,000 Odysseys and 68,000 Element wagons from the 2007-2008 model years, Honda, Japan’s second-largest carmaker, said yesterday. The company is reviewing at least three reported crashes in which brakes were cited, none of which involved deaths, said Chris Martin, a spokesman.

The recall is Honda’s second of similar size in as many months. The Tokyo-based company said in February that 437,763 vehicles worldwide needed repairs to air bags that may deploy too forcefully. The industry faces added U.S. scrutiny after Toyota Motor Corp.’s global recalls of about 8 million vehicles for flaws linked to unintended acceleration.
