Honda has voluntarily recalled more than 350,000 coupes and sedans.

The 2016 Civic has a glitch in its electric braking system. It was discovered when several customers made warranty claims after their brake warning lights switched on.

Faulty software can reportedly prevent the parking brake from being applied once the engine is off. Honda says if the brake is faulty, a car could roll away. So far, there have been no reports of injuries related to the system.

Luckily, it's a pretty easy fix. The company says the car just needs a software update.

Honda will be mailing recall notices in November. Customers can take their Civic to an authorized dealer to fix the defect.
