American Honda will voluntarily recall 2.1 million Accord models worldwide made between 2013 and 2016, after five reports that the vehicle’s battery sensors caused engine fires.
Honda said 1.1 million of the recalls would take place in the U.S. and another 1 million around the world. Four of the five fires took place in the U.S. and the fifth occurred in Canada. The automaker has received 3,972 U.S. warranty claims relating to the issue.
Battery sensors, which alert drivers to issues with the battery or charging system, may not be sufficiently sealed.
