Honda Recalling 1 Million US Vehicles for Defective Tire Kit

Honda Motor America is recalling 1,049,883 vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the tire repair kit, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.

The issue involves a faulty sealant bottle, in which pressure can build up, potentially causing the cap to detach and become a projectile, the regulator said.

As a remedy for the recall, dealers will replace the tire repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle, free of charge.
