2003 Honda AccordHonda Motor said on August 10 it will recall 384,000 vehicles over concerns that the ignition interlock could fail, which allows vehicles to roll away, Detroit News reported.
The recall of 2003 Honda Accord and Civic models, 2003-2004 Element vehicles follows a nearly two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
This is the latest major recall by Honda to deal with the issue of faulty ignition interlocks. Since 2003, Honda has recalled more than 1.4 million vehicles over the same issue, though it blames different parts for the problems.
Honda spokesman Chris Martin said that one minor injury has been reported in connection with the vehicles that are being recalled.
Honda will remove the original interlock pin and lever and replace them with redesigned components. Honda said the reshaped component will prevent the vehicle from being turned off without being in park. Honda will begin notifying owners in late September.
