POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The Automatic Transmission Control Module is like the brain of your transmission. It helps your car shift gears smoothly and efficiently. In some 2005-2010 Accords, CR-Vs, and Elements, this module might get faulty signals from the transmission due to a broken secondary shaft bearing.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your engine could stall while driving, and you could lose power. Broken pieces from the transmission could also get stuck in the parking pawl, causing your car to roll away when you think it's in park, which increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will update the transmission control module software for free, so your car can communicate with the transmission properly again. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
