Honda Recalls 410,000 Vehicles Over Brake Woes (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/17/business/17honda.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss) - The Honda Motor Company will recall more than 410,000 Odyssey minivans and Element small trucks because of braking system problems that could make it tougher to stop the vehicle if not repaired.
