Honda recalls 420,000 cars (Japan)
seems like japan only. a problem with the key-ignition in some automatic transmission cars could allow the keys to be removed from the ignition when the shift lever isn't in park.

Honda to fix 420,000 vehicles
June 1, 2006 - 11:44AM
Honda in Japan says it will repair the Fit subcompact, the Stream minivan and seven other models, produced between April 2001 and March 2002, because of key interlock problems.
Honda said 423,344 automatic vehicles are subject to the repairs. Their ignition keys can be removed even when the shift lever is not in the park position.
The seven other models involved are the Step WGN, the Civic, the Civic Ferio, the Civic Hybrid, the CR-V, the Mobilio and the Integra.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen Group Japan said the same day that its New Beetle and four other models may still have problems with their engine control systems.
Volkswagen said it will carry out a second recall of the models as not all the problems were fixed after a first recall in July 2004.
