Honda Recalls More Than 600,000 Vehicles Over Steering Assist Software Issue
By Kelly Cloonan
Honda Motor is recalling more than 600,000 vehicles due to an issue with their steering assist software.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recall affects certain Acura TLX, Acura MDX and Pilot vehicles.
In the affected vehicles, an improper software configuration could cause the electronic power steering, or EPS, system to enter failsafe mode, disabling power steering assist which may make it tougher to control the vehicle and raise the risk of a crash or injury, the NHTSA said.
The NHTSA said registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer, who will reprogram the EPS control unit with improved software.
Customer notification is scheduled to begin around Dec. 14, the NHTSA said.
