DETROIT, MI- Honda is recalling more than 870,000 minivans and SUVs worldwide, including more than 52,000 in Canada, because they can roll away even though drivers have removed the keys from the ignition.
The recall announced Wednesday affects older-model vehicles sold mainly in the United States but also includes a total of 52,441 in Canada. They were big sellers with families because of their ample space and reputation for quality.
Honda Canada says the recall will involve approximately 23,300 Honda Odyssey and 12,400 Honda Pilot vehicles from the 2003-2004 model years and about 16,600 Acura MDX vehicles from the 2003-2006 model years in Canada.
"Honda Canada has received several complaints about such failures in these vehicles, but has received no reports of accidents or injuries related to this issue," the company said in a statement.
