Honda vehicles going back to dealers

Honda is to recall 412,000 vehicles in the US for brake problems which may lead to possible lack of function if not fixed.

The car company is recalling 344,000 Odyssey minivans and 68,000 Element sports utility vehicles from the 2007-2008 model years due to soft brakes, which, as they age, must be pressed closer to the floor in order to stop the vehicles.

Honda has admitted to reports of three crashes causing minor injuries due to the braking system problem.

The problem is apparently due to air leaking into the system.

Honda calling in over 400,000 vehicles

I think the problem is bigger than this. The company i work for is based in the uk and most of our cars are either Civics or Accords and we all seem to have a similar problem, although Honda clearly do not want to accept this.
