Honda recalls 528,000 vehicles

CHICAGO - JAPANESE automaker Honda Motor Co announced the recall of nearly 528,000 vehicles worldwide on Friday due to a defect with the cylinder that holds brake fluid.

'Our supplier is the one who actually notified us of the issue,' Honda spokesman Christina Ra told AFP. The recall affects 2005 to 2007 model years of the Acura RL and Honda Odyssey vehicles built at Honda's Saitama, Japan plant.

'Failure to repair the master cylinder seal would eventually result in a soft brake pedal and the possible loss of one of the two hydraulic braking circuits.' Notices will soon be sent to owners and repairs will be performed free of charge, Honda said. LINK
