Honda Motors is recalling approximately 225,300 SUVs and minivans in the United States and Canada to replace a part that if not operating correctly could allow the driver to shift out of park without stepping off the brake pedal in sub-freezing temperatures.
The company stated this week that in the U.S. it's recalling approximately 128,000 Honda CR-V SUVs and 59,000 Honda Odyssey minivans released in 2012 and 2013, and 17,500 Acura RDX SUVs from the 2013 according to Reuters.
In Canada, the company said the recall affects approximately 14,000 CR-Vs, 4,500 Odysseys and 2,300 RDXs.
No accidents or injuries have been reported as of press time according to Honda. The issue was found during an internal investigation.
Mailed notifications of the recall will be sent to owners of each vehicle by early May according to Reuters.
Owners of any of the previous mentioned vehicles are encouraged to take their vehicle to a mechanic to see if they're already dealing with the problem.
Once letters arrive, Honda owners can take their vehicle to their nearest dealership to get an updated brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism installed free of charge.
Just last week, Honda announced the recall of approximately 1.1 million vehicles to replace passenger airbag inflators.
