U.S. regulatory authorities said Monday they have launched a probe into complaints of steering control loss in the Accord sedan of Honda Motor Co.

The investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will cover some 1.1 million vehicles manufactured between 2013 and 2015, U.S. media reported.

The agency was quoted by CNBC as saying, "Under normal driving conditions, with no warning or input from the driver, the vehicle may veer or jerk out of its intended path of travel."

There are 107 reports of loss of steering control while driving the model and two reports of injuries, the reports said, adding that the Japanese carmaker may recall the vehicles if the agency concludes it is necessary.

The Honda Accord is one of the most popular models among Japanese cars in the U.S. market.
