One of the leading automobile makers, Honda, is facing some problems regarding its popular and best-selling auto model the Honda Civic. The company is sending letters to Honda Civic owners all over Britain, alerting them of the problem with the handbrakes. But this problem is only limited to the Honda Civics that were manufactured in 2006 to 2007 in the factory located in South Marston, close to Swindon.

This problem regarding the handbrake causes the car to roll away from its parking location. It is not hard to imagine the danger involved in a situation like this. The owners of the Honda Civic have reported that the handbrake does not catch when applying the release button. Honda apologizes for this inconvenience and has offered customers a new handbrake to replace the defective one on their vehicles.

According to estimates, approximately 80,000 Honda Civic units are affected by this problem.
