June 11 (Reuters) – Honda Motor America is recalling 1,049,883 vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the tyre repair kit, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.
The issue involves a faulty sealant bottle, in which pressure can build up, potentially causing the cap to detach and become a projectile, the regulator said.
The recall includes certain Honda Accord Hybrid, CR-V Fuel Cell EV, and CR-V Hybrid vehicles, the U.S. safety regulator said.
As a remedy for the recall, dealers will replace the tire repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle, free of charge.
