Sort of contradicts the last report about superior quality...
Honda Motor Co., said Wednesday it plans to widen a previously announced recall to include 1.14 million vehicles, among its largest, covering Accord and Acura cars that have the same transmission fault that triggered a light-truck recall this year. The recall will cost Honda about $63 million, in addition to the $153 million being spent on the light-truck portion of the recall. The cars affected are 2003-2004 Honda Accords, 2000-2004 Acura TL, and 2001-2003 Acura RLs. In April, the company recalled 600,000 U.S. and Canadian Odyssey minivans, and Pilot and Acura MDX sport-utility vehicles with the same transmission. Honda placed second to Toyota in this week's J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study, which measures quality over three years of ownership. And while Toyota slipped from last year in the study, Honda improved. -Jim Burt
