Honda recalled more than 65,000 vehicles due to the issue of vehicles rolling down while in the park.
The affected vehicles include certain 2013 Honda Accord vehicles. According to Honda, drive shafts can corrode and break due to damage from road salt and other contaminants.
“A broken drive shaft can lose drive power or cause the vehicle to overturn when the vehicle is in the park without parking brakes applied,” Honda announced on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website. “Both scenarios can increase the risk of crashes and injuries.”
Here are some things you need to know about recalls and what to do if you drive an affected vehicle:
