Honda to Recall 412,000 Vehicles in U.S. for Brakes

DETROIT — Honda Motor Co will recall about 412,000 vehicles in the United States to address the risk that brake pedals may feel soft and slip closer to the floor over time. The recall covers about 344,000 Odyssey minivans and 68,000 Element SUVs for the 2007 and 2008 model years and follows customer complaints over the issue, Honda said in a statement. On some of the vehicles, air could enter the unit that controls braking and stability system, which may result in the “soft brake pedal” or “low brake pedal” after months or years, the company said.
