Details

What's wrong: The fuel cell control unit (fc-ECU) may misinterpret a small cell voltage drop, causing the vehicle to have reduced, or a complete loss of, power.

Why it matters: A loss of power can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a software update, free of charge. The recall began February 28, 2018.
