Details

What's wrong: The electric parking brake (epb) may not engage if it is applied immediately after turning the ignition off.

Why it matters: If the epb is not applied, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle's software to allow the epb to engage immediately after the ignition is turned off, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2016.
