A total of 5,280 units of the Proton Inspira, manufactured between September 2010 and May 2011, have been recalled over concerns of its drive belt pulley (V-ribbed belt). This follows a similar recall announced by Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) last month concerning the Lancer, on which the Inspira is based.
According to Proton, the drive belt pulley in the affected Inspira models may develop possible pulley wear after a certain mileage or driving conditions. This could cause premature wear to the unit, which may result in “battery depletion and engine overheat.” Steering effort for the power steering system could also increase, Proton says.
All labour and parts costs related to the issue will be borne by Proton. The Malaysian company has sent out letters to notify the affected customers, who are also urged to contact authorised Proton service centres to book an appointment.

Cepat2 tukar (claim) …
Those belts from Japan are recalled. How about those made in Malaysia?
No recall doesn’t mean no problem. You never do body checkup doesn’t mean you will be cancer free.
Proton got no balls. They do this AFTER Mitsubishi made a recall last month. Why wait a month?
This shows that they had no choice but to make the recall because online forums were buzzing about the defect.
If Mitsubishi did not make the recall, Proton would NEVER do it. Such a dishonest company. In 30 years, hardly made any recalls. Toyota or Honda has made so many recalls.
You mean to say Malaysian quality 100 times better than Honda and Toyota?
They don’t need money from your pocket to change the belt. Just sent it to the near SC and you can drive the car as usual. They had few procedures to recall any car. Its not simple as ABC.
Stop being bias on your comment.
Actually, jammed power windows in the past warrant total recall. Did Proton recall any cars with faulty power windows in the past?
After 5 years baru recall, wtf? Back then when people complain they say no problem, now they admit got problem, same like the CVT Iriz. It’s not the money but the trouble customers get when they buy Proton’s car. Some people already sold the car. Proton, just close shop lah
Eh honda toyota cars gone to used car shops ady baru nak recall and admit airbags were harmful, sudden acceleration etc.
why you dun bash? they should close shop too
Yes, if T/H are using the rakyat’s money to build them. Are they? We don’t care if Proton is building crap cars but we do if they’re using the rakyat’s money to build crap cars. In this case, Proton should close shop
it takes honda 10 years to recall their honda city & honda jazz airbag issue. please look at the link below.

Honda Malaysia recalling 15,734 cars for driver airbag replacement – 2003-2004 City and 2004 Jazz involved
Ini article Proton, why bring in Honda? Also, it’s an issue by Takada, not Honda. If Honda knew, early they recall already but Proton recall only after Mitsu recall? Hmm…
You really think they recall because the care? Cant blame them. Iriz not selling, nothing to do in office. So got to organize some recall activities.
Please do some research before you become a keyboard hero. Have you ever think why newer batch Inspira never call for recall?
Same Lorr,if sales keep plunging by 20,000 units annually,Proton may only sell 50-60,000 units by 2017.
The defunct and insolvent Protong…no more recalls by then.
Proton fanboys got nothing to attack us anymore.The battle then will be between Perodua ,Toyota and Honda.
Now,we see EVERLASTING PERLINDUNGAN has its pitfalls.
Unless the Gomen goes bankrupt, Proton will be in ICU forever, too much silly pride like ‘Malaysia Boleh’ is involved.
You are right, 1MDB is bankrupting gov
If Proton don’t sell any, then no need to recall lol
Just drive the car until the belt shreds and coil round the pulley and jam it up, then just call tow truck service.
Even news station also report Inspira recall. Pro-Tongkat mmg memalukan bangsa dan negara
So what, Takata airbags much worse, caused deaths
Inilah kes benar Proton memalukan. Proton service mmg very “Good”

No wonder Proton owners like to smoke here, smoke there. In the end, car get smoke
Wait 5 years not to come up with new models but to recall. Haha
Proton torpedoes launching in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Inilah case memalukan. These kind of cases you must accept any walk in guests or you have few of your million of staffs to call and confirm a date with your customer. UMW Toyota did that. Why burden the customer to call? Typical.
Umw recall= concern, good aftersales
Proton recall= low quality product, why bother, blah blah blah…..
Byw, 5300 units sold in those 5 months. Wow?
What do you means 5300 units sold in those 5 months?
Manufactured, not sold.
Built to do what? Put in aquarium?
lulz
These Proton recall exercise…The proton exora bold CFE radiator connector recall exercise announced on December 2014….hmmmm…I’m still waiting for my exora to be inspected…nearly 3 months already after booking at Proton SC…:(
dude, change the radiator connector ASAP. Mine got leakage 3 days after Proton announced recall, mati tengah jalan, have to tow back to Proton SC, replaced immediately, no need booking.
Called Kuantan SC just now pertaining the Exora Bold CFE radiator connector…They said parts are still not available yet, they still got to inspect the car first….haiyooo….so dumbass… :(
sent to kerteh SC
Send to Ah Beng workshop faster. They are more efficient than Proton SC
I call at 10am, 2pm already done on the same day.
Datang awal ke COE… kawtim dengan technician atau receptionist… susah kalau appointment kalau dah 3 bulan x panggil.. nnt kereta terbakar, nanges x berlagu..
Apa citer nk kena kawtim2 nih?.. When u made official recalled, then it is a manufacturer obligation to ensure all replacement parts are in order. Especially if relate to ‘sangkaku’ items (safety item).
Dah la people need to spend time n money going to the Proton SC.
proton wecare helpline & the authorized service centers have no idea on this..care to share the source?
Both the official careline & SC have no idea about this..care to share the official source?
How to know when the car is manufactured?,Is it possible for us to know the manufacturing date before called by proton?
Check your chassis number.
how to decode proton inspira chassis number to know the month and year of the manufacturing date? Any example?
Wrong question. Most of the pipu here dont use Inspira. Yet they comment like they own one. Lol.. So none can answer u.
meaning the FIRST BATCH OF INSPIRA?
P2 – 0 recall
0 recall = most laying ‘turtle’ on the road. :)
Proof? Cakap kosong shj to support faulty Proton. Ptuih!
Go google lor so lazy!
govrnmnt juz changed perdana to inspira for their official car. WOW?
souce? is it another bullshit?
Go google lor so lazy!
how come no recall for proton campro engine which does emits chit-chit belt loosing symptom after some while of usage? same it will affects alternator, power steering pump and water pump if it become too loose…
Biasalah bang, ini kereta Proton
Good job Proton. Now before anyone start bashing Proton dont forget that VW,BMW,Merc,Toyota,Honda and etc also recall their car due to flaw equipment and safety concern. Cheers :)
Everyone also recall but Proton wait for 5 years baru recall
How about this? Dangerous Takata airbags since 2000:
2000-2003 Toyota Corolla Altis
2000-2003 Toyota Camry
2001-2003 Honda Stream
2002-2003 Honda Jazz
2003 Honda City
2003 Honda Accord
just by another car.. i think u should buy bentley.. :P
Went to Proton SC this morning to enquire of this issue, man at the counter was like “Inspira kena recall ?”.they have no idea of this issue. Better bring your inspira to MMC for service, less people and good service quality.
Went to Proton SC and they have no idea about the recall. The lady said “tunggu surat recall sampai rumah baru buat appointment”
Dejjeyy betoi Proton. Nak haremmm…
krg ni bile honda ,toyota ngan nissan tu krg x bising pun
But when the Proton you allz start tu make an issue
Kaki politik btl lah krg ni
Its ok to make recall. I also experience with Honda. When I came to their SC, They gave me the approximate time to complete the job.
Ini kat Proton, SC pun x tahu Inspira ada recall. apa cittaa??
Woi budak jgn kencing la lu pakai myvi buruk je pun
baru pakai honda dah ada org butthurt.. haha.. pity you.
belum aku tukar bmw X6 lagi.. hehe
Inilah dia, kebanggaan kita…

Masih tak bole lawan jumlah p2 yg turn turtle dan terbang
If they recall my waja power windows, door handler, I will keep buying protong again..
I am not surprised at all. Afterall, it is only Proton….and they are known to be troublesome….
Toyota and Honda also get recalled due to more serious airbag issue supplied by Takata. So Toyota and Honda is also troublesome?
Yeah, go and buy a Pagani.
a safe car made safer.
The bane of this nation’s motoring miseries.

BMW is the latest made recalls. All senyap saja.
sebab sorang dua aje yang pakai BMW yang komen dlm ni..semua pakai perodua n proton. mengaku jela..puihh
Recall yang CBU bukan CKD. CBU belt tidak sesuai untuk cuaca negara ini.REcall pun dah kecoh bukan kena bayar pun. FOC. Owner Inspira rilex je. yang pakai brand lain pulak terasa. Apa cer bro?
ko ni x reti baca article Bhs Inggeris ke? Yg kena recalled both Mitsubishi n Inspira. Sejak bila Inspira jadi CBU? lol
One more, mmg tukar FOC. tapi kos pergi SC n amik cuti tu kira FOC jugak ke?
Tapi surat tulis CBU Mitsubishi model le… anda dah dapat & baca surat ni kat?
Pandai sangat. Issue is with the drive belt PULLEY and not the issue with the BELT. The plastic pulley might face premature wear & tear and cause the belt to jump out thus you will lose your alternator charge, power steering, air conditioning etc.

Young Pariah plotong fans like that car so much.they convert to be inspirated brand . Unfortunately people know the different
I had mine sent to the SC- the recall part is not available. It has been more than 2 months… parts still isn’t avaiable… Proton made a massive recall but did not make an effort to supply part for it? WTF are they doing?????
My manual Exora bought in the year 2011 faced ABS and Hand Brake problem.Both lights of the two indicators on the dash board are on whenever I’m driving since a year ago.I wondered why two important safety features were so easily malfunction with 3 yrs+ age（not under defects warranty any more ） The quality control of Proton is so lousy and extremely bad.I came to know from my relatives n friends who drove manual Exora happens to experience this faulty incident.Why Proton wants to upgrades its safety features for the new models,but never make sure it is up to the standard and not disappointing the buyers.I really hope that Proton CEO n the management can consider to include the lighting of ABS and Braking indicator during driving in the recall exercise.The safety of the drivers and their passengers have the rights to enjoy safety environment while on the road as far as the life of maximum 7 people in the Malaysia made MPV car is concern.
