Honda recalls 259K cars over faulty brake pedal that can increase crash, injury risk
Honda Motor is recalling more than 259,000 vehicles in the US over a faulty brake pedal, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said this week.
A poorly secured pin can make the brake pedal shift out of position, preventing drivers from using the brake and increasing the risk of crash or injury.

The recall includes Honda Acura MDX 2023-2025, Acura TLX 2021-2025 and Pilot 2023-2025 vehicles.
There have been three warranty claims related to the recall and no reported injuries or deaths linked to the matter, according to the carmaker.
About 1% of the 259,033 vehicles included in the recall likely have the defect, Honda estimated in a safety report.
Owners should bring their vehicles to a Honda dealership, where they can be inspected and the brake pedal assembly can be fixed free of charge, if necessary.
All owners of impacted vehicles will be notified by mail. Letters are expected to be mailed out on July 28, Honda said.
The brake pin issue occurred during production at a US plant, which has since closed and moved to Mexico.
The new facility has started using a camera sensor to verify whether the pin is securely staked, Honda said.
Honda launched an investigation in April 2024 after receiving a report of a vehicle experiencing brake pedal movement.
It determined the defect existed across certain vehicles on June 5 and decided to issue a recall.
