Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2012-2013 CR-V and Odyssey vehicles, as well as 2013 Acura RDX vehicles, because a defect in the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism can allow the gear selector to move out of park without the driver pressing the brake pedal, particularly during cold weather. This defect creates a risk that the vehicle could roll away unexpectedly, potentially causing a crash.
If you own an affected vehicle, Honda will notify you and direct you to take your vehicle to a Honda or Acura dealer, where technicians will install an updated brake shift interlock blocking mechanism at no charge. The recall began on May 13, 2013. Owners can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 for more information, referencing recall campaigns S96, S97, or S98 depending on their vehicle.

Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles.
