Honda Motor Co. is recalling all the Fit and Vezel hybrid cars it has sold in Japan since last year over a software flaw causing unintended acceleration.
The recall -- the fourth for new models of the best-selling Fit and the second for Vezel -- will cover 175,000 vehicles, the Tokyo-based carmaker said in a statement today. The carmaker received 11 reports of accidents from December to April related to the engine-control program, with no injuries or deaths, said Akemi Ando, a spokeswoman for the company.
