Honda has announced a recall for 160,000 Fit (Jazz) and Vezel (HR-V) models in Japan. The recalls were made due to defective power steerings and a component that controls the electric current in the affected vehicles. According to the report by Associated Press, the recall is limited to vehicles sold in Japan.
Yuichi Yamamoto, a Japan transport ministry official, told Bloomberg the faulty electronic control unit has resulted in six fires being reported. Meanwhile, problems with the power steering have been linked with two collisions. Thankfully, no death or injuries have been reported due to the incidents.
The affected vehicles were produced between August 2013 and February 2016. According to Honda, only the Fit cars were recalled for both problems. However, no issues relating to the vehicle’s steering wheel was reported for the Vezel.
Previously, both models have been recalled on several occasions in Japan. In October 2013, Honda recalled 4,883 Fit cars over automatic transmission and control modules. Later in December 2013, the carmaker extended said recall to 36,100 units.
In February 2014, an issue with engine control units on Fit and Vezel vehicles prompted 81,353 units to be recalled by Honda, which was later extended to 175,356 units in July 2014. A few months after, 321,501 Fit and Vezel vehicles were recalled over defective engine ignition coils and power supply circuits. All these recalls have been confined to the Japanese market only.

If Proton … then you hear no end by the bashers
Honda recall – see Honda got recall if Proton no recall at all if have problem.
Proton recall- see Proton got recall, if Honda no problem at all so no recall.
Conclusion = Anything done by Proton will be hate even it is true and good. For example, if Proton make 1.5 TGDI 180hp 250NM engine, people will say : Why make too much power engine? People now drive slow-slow and want good FC oni. Want let people langgar speed limit ka?
If honda make 1.5 Turbo, Wah see Honda very good make turbo engine. Proton? 1.6 Campro only.
don’t worry… malaysia vehicles not affected… quality too high already. now we manufacture better cars than the japanese
The different is Honda good RV, Proton No RV! So no basher for Honda..
Honda has expensive spare parts, p1 is much cheaper and easy to find one
OMG…honda QC sleeping kah? macam P1 QC attitude… so many recall…haizzz
Ehhh nice nyaaa that green HRV!!!
The Japanese cars! Tak habis-habis recall. Look at the European, thew don’t recall even when there are serious flaws.
Now Honda cars are catching up with Toyota. In terms of recalls and hidden hazard.
Surprisingly hrv and jazz in Malaysia not involved. Really??
Obviously Honda Malaysia trying their best to hide this issue la. I’m sure all unit affected. I saw Lexus also did some recalls. Which affected the whole world. Since it’s from same manufacturing, sure whole world affected. But Malaysia didn’t do so. Really?
Can fix nevermind. No life taken at least
Proton until today no need to recall. Semua OK. Quality better than AMG Mercedes!
I guess u must have came out of cave early this month. P1 just did a recall in March 2016
All is forgiven because it’s Honda. If Proton recalls even one car, BASH BASH BASH.
Wrong. This is Honda Japan only. Honda Malaysia car is 100% perfect otherwise it can’t be rebadged by Proton later on.
I guess we’re just gonna ignore the thousands of locally assembled City and Jazz models in 2016 ALONE.
hahaha. Honda……….
Andddd…. All the Honda apologists and anything foreign made apologists will come out in defense…. No death maaa so ok laaa…. Proton or Perodua… Fuhhh… We’ll hear no end to it….
Oh course mah! They r our foreign overlords or even gods! We cannot persoal them, otherwise their cultists here will gag order dissidents kau-kau.
Wanna know how to make them, and almost everyone riled up?
Get Honda Malaysia to beg RM 4.2bil of taxpayers money, then make sure all cars got built in power window problem.
P1 asked money that was promised before, is that wrong? Duh
After this, LRV.
