“Recall completion is critically important to us,” Jim Roach, American Honda Parts & Service vice president said when announcing the decision. “By working with Carfax, American Honda provides another way for customers to increase their awareness and need to address recall repairs.”
Carfax, one of the most used tools to find out information about vehicles, will provide the information to customers free of charge, at carfax.com/recall.
“Carfax and American Honda are committed to keeping our roadways safe,” Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax added. “Adding Honda and Acura to the list of manufacturers providing open recall information to Carfax helps notify car owners and buyers and gets these cars into dealerships to be fixed.”
Although not as big as the ones made by rival Toyota, Honda's recalls have managed to impress through their size perhaps just as much.
The latest Honda recall of considerable size is the one announced this March, which involves 344,000 Odyssey and 68,000 Element vehicles manufactured in between 2007-2008. The problem which prompted the recall involves the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator, which may cause brake pedals to become "soft."
According to initial findings, some VSA modulators were assembled in a manner that could allow air intrusion, making it possible for air to enter the modulator during the VSA self-check mode.
