Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2005-2010 Accord, 2007-2010 CR-V, and 2005-2008 Element vehicles manufactured between July 1, 2004, and September 3, 2010. The outer race of the secondary shaft bearing in the automatic transmission may break during certain driving styles, potentially causing contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing. This contact could short-circuit the transmission control module, causing the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces of the bearing may lodge in the parking pawl, causing the vehicle to roll even after the driver has placed the gear selector in Park. These conditions increase the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy is a free software update to the automatic transmission control module. Dealers will perform this update at no charge. Owners should contact Honda Automobile Customer Service at 1-800-999-1009 to arrange the service.

THIS COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION. ENGINE STALL AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS WITHIN THE PATH OF A ROLLING VEHICLE.
HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 27, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.
