On September 28, 2022, a putative class-action lawsuit was filed against Honda, alleging that the company has sold thousands of vehicles that have a critical safety defect that puts drivers and others at serious risk of injury. Specifically, the lawsuit against Honda alleges that a wide range of Honda vehicles share a faulty “Auto Start/Stop” (also called “Idle Stop”) feature that aims to save fuel by turning the engine off stops and that the idle stop system in these vehicles routinely fails to restart the engine as intended, leaving drivers unable to move their vehicles. The lawsuit further alleges that Honda was fully aware of the defect prior to marketing the vehicles.
As a result of this news, the price of Honda’s American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) fell $0.74 per ADR, or 3.23%, to close at $22.19 per ADR on September 29, 2022.
