Module Mishap: Honda recalls 33,000 vehicles

Alliston, Ontario — Honda Canada is recalling 33, 150 sedans to update body control module software, according to Transport Canada.

A similar recall is underway in the United States, where about 735,000 vehicles need the update.

The recall affects the Honda Accord, including the hybrid model years 2018 and 2019.

A programming flaw could disrupt communication causing illumination of several warning lights and malfunction of electronic components, the automaker said.

Honda Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take affected vehicles to a dealer to update the software.
