U.S. NHTSA Advances Investigation into Honda's Automatic Braking Issues

The probe, now an engineering analysis, could lead to a recall affecting nearly 3 million vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received 1,294 complaints about Honda's automatic emergency braking system activating without cause.
Investigation covers model years 2017-2022 for the CR-V and 2018-2022 for the Accord, including hybrids.
Reports include 47 crashes and 93 injuries potentially linked to the braking issue.
Honda contends some issues may stem from user misunderstanding, yet persistent problems reported by owners.
NHTSA's ongoing scrutiny of automatic braking systems includes setting new standards for obstacle detection.
