Honda Recalls Accord, Civic and Elements - Nearly 400,000 Involved; Is Your Kansas City Honda Affected?

Safety recall.  No one likes to hear these words in conjunction with the vehicle they own.  Unfortunately, automakers are more frequently issuing these recalls and sadly, on some of the nation's most popular models.  Honda Motor Co. has announced its latest recall of 2003 Honda Accord, Civic and Element models due to a fault in the ignition system that allows the driver to remove the key without the vehicle being in park.  The recall is the third since 2003 and it is estimated that this will impact over 400,000 vehicles on the road today.

We frequently discuss the dangers facing drivers on the road today:  aggressive drivers, road construction, driving while drowsy, drunk drivers, and many other topics.  There is an inherent expectation that, properly maintained, your vehicle should be a safe place for you and your passengers.  Sadly, when automakers issue these recalls, that expectation doesn't seem justified. 

As Kansas City Auto Accident Attorneys, we encourage all Honda owners with these models to contact Honda immediately to see when corrective action can be taken.  Product re-calls should never be avoided especially when we are dealing with something you put your life into every day.

Honda has provided a website address, www.recalls.honda.com for owners to check out their vehicles.  Additionally, a toll free number can also be used, 800-999-1009, option 4.
