Honda to recall 561,594 cars at cost of $24 mln Wed Jun 14, 2:22 AM ET



Japan's Honda Motor Co. (7267.T) said on Wednesday it would recall and repair a combined 561,594 units of the Odyssey, CR-V and Step Wgn models globally to fix a faulty ignition switch that could cause the engine to stop.

The recall and repairs would cost the company around 2.73 billion yen ($23.70 million), a spokeswoman said.

Of the total, 483,185 units are in Japan and were built between October 1994 and May 1997, Honda said in a filing with Japan's transport ministry.

Most of the recalls outside Japan cover the Odyssey minivan sold in North America. No accidents were reported overseas, while five people in Japan suffered burns from contact with melted ignition switches.

Just kidding, obviously!

 

^ you're a good sport quik....

as you know, if this happened on a GM car, well....you know where the convo would go.....

shit happens.....everyone just needs to acknowledges that.....for ALL manufacturers.

 

Your Engrish suck more.

 

I'm still waiting for Honda to do the recall on my Accord for the ignition switch. In my case, the high current going through the switch causes the contacts to prematurely burn out, allowing the car to turn itself off at any time (driving or not). Gets fun trying to restart it at 60 mph in traffic...

Of course, since it's a Canadian car, I'm having trouble getting it done here (though the dealership is REQUIRED to do safety recalls on ANY Honda vehicle, they're still refusing).
