Honda is recalling over 145,000 motorcycles in the U.S.to fix dragging rear brakes that can cause a fire or crash. The company reported three unintended deployments in the US and three in other countries.

The automaker said it expects to have one by March and said the cars are safe to drive in the meantime. The company plans to start notifying customers in December, according to a filing with regulators.
A few 92,000 US vehicles are included in the recall.
Around the world, Volkswagen has said a few 11 million vehicles are equipped with emissions-cheating software that will be recalled. The failure causes reduced engine power and loss of vacuum pump power, cutting vacuum supply to the brake booster and eventually resulting in increased braking effort.
The lobe can shear off the camshaft. The engines also will go into a reduced power mode to avoid further damage.

The company said the camshaft could break, leading to a weakening of braking power as the engine slows, increasing the risk of an accident.
