The recall includes the most popular models ranging from the 2018-2020 series of Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Ridgeline, Odyssey, and some Acura models.

NHTSA said Honda could notify these model owners by February next year. The latest announcement from Honda came after Honda issued a notification to recall about 106,030 CR-V hybrid vehicles due to the risk of fire or injury in a crash caused by an overheated battery cable or short circuit.
