Honda recalled about 25,000 new Civics on Thursday because the accelerator pedal was improperly installed on some 2006 models, which could cause a crash. If the pedal is improperly installed, it could come loose, cause the throttle to stick. Honda spokesman Sage Marie said there have fortunately been no crashes or injuries linked to the issue in the popular-selling vehicle. The “vast majority” of the 25,298 vehicles under recall in the United States have not yet been sold, Marie said. A dealer inspecting the vehicles discovered the problem in late September and reported it to the automaker, leading to an internal investigation, he said. Honda has been hoping the new Civic will re-energize sales of the popular compact car.
