A defect that can allow an automatic transmission to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake pedal has prompted Honda Motor Co. to recall 205,000 cars, crossovers and minivans in the U.S.
The flaw, which defeats the brake-shift interlock safety system, occurs only when temperatures are low.
The recall that begins next month will encompass Acura RDX sedans from the 2013 model year and 2012-2013 CRV compact crossovers and Odyssey minivans.
Honda says it is aware of no crashes, injuries or complaints related to the defect.

FORD GT This is a car that was rumored to be coming, yet which was kept undercover exceedingly well so that when it was revealed, the gasps in Joe Louis Arena caused a momentary lack of oxygen in the room: ACURA NSX Acura’s stand was directly across from Ford’s. And Acura revealed the production version of the NSX. Some argued that Acura should have challenged Ford to a race through the slippery streets of downtown Detroit. It would have probably won, because this hybrid as all-wheel-drive: ALFA ROMEO 4C SPIDER The question is whether this is a study in Italian sexiness or lightweight. This car features a body of SMC, a carbon-fiber monocoque, aluminum chassis and engine mounting components, and an all-aluminum, 237-hp turbocharged engine. And yes, you can remove the carbon-fiber roof: VOLKSWAGEN CROSS COUPE GTE American drivers are snapping up crossover vehicles of all size with vigor of late. And so Volkswagen has wisely decided that because it has that giant manufacturing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that’s making Passats that are sedans, not crossovers, it needs to do something. And that something is the Cross Coupe GTE, a seven-passenger crossover that will go into production near the end of 2016. Oh, and it is a hybrid.
