Following Toyota, almost half a million cars, due to problems with the brakes, withdrew Honda

The Japanese Honda auto giant announced in the United States about the impending large-scale recall of his machines due to the discovered defect in the brake system. Recall, due to a similar problem with the brakes, just a few days ago, another Japanese manufacturer, Toyota, announced the recall. The Honda Service will affect 471820 Acura RL and Honda Odyssey cars produced from 2005 to 2007, CNN reports.

The cause of the defect lies in the oil used for the brake mechanisms of the above cars. The fact is that the "original" Honda oil contains substances that have an additional lubricant effect for the details of the brake system. If the owner decides to use another oil that does not contain these substances, then he risks leaving the main brake cylinder dry, explains Caredge .

In this case, a leakage of oil through the seals is possible, which will affect the efficiency of braking. NHTSA is sure that this will significantly increase the likelihood of an accident. The dealers are ready to replace the main brake cylinder for free.

As already reported, on October 21, due to a number of defects, including due to problems with brakes, more than 1.5 million of its cars in the USA, Japan and the UK withdrew Toyota Motor . Toyota Avalon, Lexus IS250, IS300, IS350, as well as Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX330 jeeps are subject to repair.

The problem in the brake system in Toyota machines is that the plug on the cylinder included in it can be leaky and the technical fluid can begin to seep on the amplifier, which, in turn, can negatively affect the braking efficiency.
