Carmaker Honda has issued a recall because of battery sensors causing fires.
Honda said that it would recall nearly 1.2 million Accords produced between 2013 and 2016, after receiving multiple reports of the cars’ battery sensors causing fires in the engine. The sensors, which notify drivers when there is a problem with the battery, may not be sufficiently sealed against moisture, the company said.
As a result, substances like road salt can enter the sensor and cause it to short, potentially leading to fires.
There have been no reported injuries related to these incidents.
Honda said it will start notifying Accord owners affected by the latest battery recall by the end of this month.
