77,000 ’88 Preludes Recalled by Honda

From Associated Press

American Honda Motor Co. Inc. on Thursday recalled about 77,000 1988 Prelude automobiles to eliminate potential accelerator-pedal problems.

The company said in a news release that, under extreme pressure, the pedal could become caught by a stopper that is covered by floor material. It said it would install rubber blocks under the pedals in all 77,000 Preludes.

In addition, the company said it would reinforce front-seat anchors that don’t meet federal strength specifications in about 25,000 of the cars. All work will be done at no cost to the car owners, Honda said.
