Honda recalls more than one million cars after battery fires

Posted

Nearly 1.2 million Honda Accords are being recalled after multiple reports of the cars' battery sensors causing fires in the engine, according to CNN.

The vehicles affected were produced between 2013 and 2016. CNN reports the senors, which notify the driver of a problem with the battery, may not be "sufficiently sealed" against moisture. This means other substances, such as road salt, can get in the sensor and cause it to short. This can potentially lead to a fire.

Honda says there have been no reported injuries related to these incidents.
