WASHINGTON — U.S. auto safety regulators have launched an investigation into more than 1.7 million Honda Motor Co. vehicles for unintended automatic emergency braking.
The investigation covers 2018-19 Honda Accord midsize cars and 2017-19 Honda CR-V compact crossovers.
NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation said it has received 278 complaints — 107 for the Accord and 171 for the CR-V — alleging "inadvertent activation of the collision mitigation braking system" in those vehicles.
