Honda Recalling Over 350,000 Accords

Japanese automaker is recalling 353,000 Accord sedans from the 2003 model year to address corrosion in the windshield wiper motor.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Honda Motor Co. is recalling 353,000 Accord sedans to address corrosion in the windshield wiper motor.
 
Honda said Wednesday the recall involves Accords from the 2003 model year. The automaker says water could enter an area near the windshield wiper motor and cause corrosion.
 
The corrosion could cause the electrical circuit breaker inside the motor area to fail and could prevent the motor from working, potentially leading to a crash.
 
No injuries or crashes have been attributed to the wiper problem, and virtually all affected units were sold in the U.S.
 
Dealers will inspect the windshield wiper motor for corrosion and install a cover over the motor if no signs of corrosion are present. If there is corrosion, they will replace the motor.
 
Owners may contact Honda at (800) 999-1009.
