DETROIT (AP) — Honda Motor Co. says it will expand an existing recall.
Spokesman Todd Mittleman says the automaker will announce the details in a conference call at 5:50 p.m. EST with John Mendel, its top American sales executive.
Last month Honda recalled 646,000 Fit hatchbacks worldwide because of a glitch that could cause water to enter the power window mechanism, causing components to overheat.
It was unclear whether this recall would be part of Tuesday's announcement.
The Fit recall affects 2007-2008 models. The Fit is sold in other countries as the Jazz and City. The recall affects Asia, Latin America, Europe, South Africa and North America. About 140,000 vehicles are affected in the U.S.
