Honda has announced the global recall of 321,453 Honda CR-V SUVs and Acura ILX sedans. The recall is due to a defect with the vehicles' door locks.

According to Honda, vehicles covered by the recall may have a fault in their inner door handle which could allow a door to open unexpectedly.

"Simultaneous operation of the driver's or passenger's inner door handle and either the manual or power door lock may result in the inner door handle release cable becoming partially disengaged," American Honda said in a statement.

According to Reuters, no accidents or injuries have been linked to the recall.

In the United States, the recall includes 166,000 CR-Vs from the 2012 model year and 6,200 Acura ILX sedans from the 2013 model year.
