Honda Motor Co. said it will deploy brake-override systems in all of its Honda and Acura vehicles in the U.S., with the first installment coming in late August, The Wall Street Journal.

The entire lineup will have the system, which ensures that the brakes can overpower the engine if the accelerator and brake are both depressed, by the end of 2011, the company said in a statement.

The systems gained attention this year after Toyota Motor Corp. recalled more than 8.5 million cars globally for unintended acceleration. Some of vehicles that had problems didn't have a brake-override system.

Toyota has since pledged to install the system in all new vehicles and to retrofit three million existing cars with the technology.

Auto-safety legislation that is being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce calls for rules to be drawn up to require a brake-override system on all vehicles.

Previously, Honda had said it would implement the system, but didn't say when. Currently, Honda doesn't have the system on any of its vehicles, said Gary Robinson, an American Honda spokesman.
