Honda announces recall of over 90,000 cars
The recall will also include 2,204 cars that had fuel pump assemblies installed as spare parts.
Honda Cars India Ltd has announced a voluntary recall of 90,468 cars across India. Apart from this, the brand has also recalled 2,204 cars that had faulty fuel pumps installed as spare parts. The recall covers almost every model in the brand’s portfolio. The recall will begin in a phased manner on November 5 and the service will be free of cost. The company will contact the affected individuals directly in due course or they can visit Honda’s India website. Honda has created a microsite where owners can enter their VIN (vehicle identification number) to check if their car is affected.
Honda has clarified that the fuel pump problem is due to faulty impellers, which can cause the engine to stop working or not start. The cars affected by the recall include 18,851 units of the Honda Amaze manufactured between 19-09-17 and 30-06-18. The 3,317 Brio units affected were manufactured between 08-08-17 and 27-06-18.
There are 4,386 BR-Vs manufactured between 26-09-17 and 14-06-18, while there are 32,872 City units manufactured between 04-09-17 and 29-06-18. A total of 16,744 Jazz units manufactured between 04-09-17 and 29-06-18 are affected, as well as 14,298 WR-Vs manufactured between 05-09-17 and 30-06-18.
The fuel pumps replaced as spare parts affected 2,204 cars, including Accord, Amaze, Brio, City, Civic, Jazz and WR-V. This takes the number of affected cars to 92,672. Those who have made over-the-counter purchases of fuel pump assemblies from Honda’s authorised dealerships between June 2017 and October 2023 can also get their vehicles checked at the dealership.
