Honda Malaysia is undertaking a “product update campaign” for three models to rectify some issues. The models involved are the Civic (2006-2008 model year), City (2006-2007) and Jazz (2005-2007). This is to “implement preventive measures against undesired technical issues,” according to Honda Malaysia.
For the 2006-2008 Civic, some affected units experienced oil leakage from the power steering feed hose, caused by deterioration from running in hot and humid weather. Honda Malaysia will change the rubber material for the power steering feed hose to improve its heat resistance. For this, there are 16,537 units of the Civic involved.
Meanwhile, the 2006-2007 City and 2005-2007 Jazz are prone to possible failure of its power window master switch, which under certain conditions, could cause a minor short-circuit resulting in a burnt smell. Honda Malaysia will change all the affected units with a counter measure power window switch. The product update will involve 20,949 units of the City and 2,970 units of Jazz.
Honda Malaysia adds that all current models are not affected by these issues, necessary replacement will be carried out when the parts are ready, and all parts and labour charges incurred in the replacement work will be borne by the company.
For more information and assistance, call Honda’s Toll Free number at 1-800-88-2020 or visit any authorised Honda dealer. Customers are advised to call for an appointment to avoid long waiting hours.

i voted angry angry angry angry
Hehehe, must be the same vendor supplying power window for P1…..effect of localisation…….kah kah kah…..
btw, SGM Manufacturing Honda Malaysia is an ex-p1…..so no doubt la…..(denying the fact that it ocuured worldwide)
At least they are doing something and try to be responsible.
Talking about power window switch, i think Myvi power window switch is one of the useless switch around and mostly failed within 1-2 years of ownership.
Yet, we heard nothing from Perodua….
Yet malaysian still support and buying in bulk… we turn our auto industry to the ‘drain’ level…
sigh, i might be one of the 20k+ units of city! #FML
The Civic recalls must be for FD1s only. FD2s are EPS. Pls cfm.
To put it simple, it’s 1.8L models that use hydraulic power steering.
yup, my fd1 is one in the list to “upgrade program” :(
good good, a recall, this is very responsible.
For Civic recalls, must be FD1s only? FD2s are EPS.
FD2 is hydraulic dude.
The Civic Type R (FD2R) is hydraulic driven dude,i know because i own one,not the common FD2 which is EPS driven.It does not use a hydraulic system as you mentioned bro.
The FD1 is hydraulic driven,so it’s involved in this “product update campaign” for the power steering feed hose.
I must say that this is not looking good for Honda,quite a number of recalls of recent and quite a number of my friends whose Honda cars and of various models were involved in the recent “product update campaign” for their models were less than pleased.Three of my friends had to send their City’s to the dealers to have it’s “lost motion spring” replaced after it broke and messed the cylinder head assembly.The entire cylinder head and the head bolts had to be replaced.Not exactly confidence inspiring since all 3 cars had less then 20k km on the clock..
Thankfully,my Civic Type R does not have any “product update issues”,it better be,at 200k a pop nonetheless.No issues so far,touchwood.
Cheers.
A new name for recall in Honda’s dictionary. “product update”
HM not sincere at all! worldwide is a RECALL! Recall is Honda contact you. Product update? You need to call Honda for appointment!
its the local law issue… there is no such thing as “recall” in Malaysia… they have to use “product update”….. if you look at Honda phylosophy… they love it when things fail… so as to improve from it… thats why honda wants the damaged or premature worn parts… its all in continues improvement
just say ‘recall’
It is a product defect rectifing process, 3 consecutive times in few months times. really a waste of time and energy being a Honda owner, who is going to compensate for us in this loss???
ALex you got estima, BMW F10 5 series, you got VW. and now you have this honda
do you sell car for a living or you live in your own fantasy?
‘recall’ belongs to Toyota worldwide.. so Honda has to come up with a different term
Thats right!!
Recall is Toyota’s Trademark (TM)
So Honda cannot use
If “Recall” belongs to Toyota,
“Product Update” belongs to Honda,
I believe “SKU” (syarikat kurang upaya) belongs to Protonggg.
wahhh i tought honda got no problem…
the civic defect sound worse than persona… persona only suffer knocking sound due the aluminium power steering fluid lining…not under spec material causing leakage…
n the power window defect for city sound worse than proton too… huuhuhu
Honda no problem? Honda got a lot of problem…Here is my experience with
Civic 2.0 2008 Model….3 years plus now :
1. Put Drive, krik krik sound from undercarriage, common problem, complained to
SC, fix, after 1 year problem came back…a lot of Civic 2.0 has this problem..
2. Driver side window rubber…in 1st year of use, when put window down, the whole
rubber just came down…SC fixed the problem..
3. Common problem with driver side suspension or bush…mine happen just 2 months
after warranty expired, turn hard right got kiuk kiuk sound…need to pay to fix…
4. Passenger side auto lock…got mechanical sound, complained to SC, fixed, so far
so good…
5. Passenger seat got ktek ktek vibrating sound, hard to duplicate but damn irratating,
SC could not find issue…note that this is not the seat belt hitting door frame sound,
common Civic problem the seat belt latch will stuck on top and hit the side frame
and make a lot of noise…
6. When drive 120…car will have whistling sound..ive heard reports that new City also
got this problem…i send to SC twice…last time at 90 got sound..fix fix..then 100…
then fix fix now 120….
Honda has no quality la….
have u clocked 100k yet? if yes i think u might hav this issue already….if not..let me tell u…u had to replace all the wheel bearing…dont use the cheap one coz it will gone by a month.they shud extend the warranty to 300k.
so far the list tht i chnge during warranty:
-Engine mounting
-Cd Chnger
-Suspension (all)
-Molding (all)
-Air COnd Condenser
-Disk Brake (Skim;all)
thats the major thing all the tinny minnie kluk klak krek…whistling here n there its normal…
but now after 4yrs its start to became real “japs” car…service evry 5k/10k… thats all
sorry for hearing that mate…
just trade-in for another car la… reached 3 years already… =)

No. 5……ktek! ktek! ktek!
In jawa it’s mean monyet! monyet! monyet!
It is bad for business if you call it ‘Recall’, so the best is call it “Product Update”. :)
sounds like windows update patch…
finally some actions taken! Had this problem 2 times.
product update campaign??? maybe it can call in Malaysia… at others country, this is product recall…haha
“Blacky…our complaint has been heard..”
Civic recall must be for FD1s only? FD2s are EPS.
recall does not sound nice so they use the term “product update campaign”
at least they admit their product is inferior and willing to replace. If other P brand, they will treat it as wear and tear issue.
which one? P1 or P2? P1 is more responsible than P2. P1 has recalled several times from waja rim, to savvy spindle, etc. don’t talk about P1 during TM times, that’s suck big time, now is SZ time very good. if P2 do you ever heard any recall from them? their wobble disc is pandemic to the owners, got solution?
Before some wiseass coees up saying “see why Proton never recalled their power windows?” just want to point out, the problem in the Honda could lead to short circuiting, which could be a major hazard.
hey Noob, Proton now give LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR POWER WINDOW!
prrfftthh
Hey Peyno,
its not lifetime warranty, but 10 years. (If you don’t know, how to read. Learn before you type)
Yes, you’re entitled for the warranty but if you try it… u’ll be amaze how many times to heading to Proton Service Centre in a year and the quality of service.
prrrtttthhhhhh
what, even civic had started production for the new generation car, only aware the failure in previous old model???
recall say recall lah !!
Recall is recall. Beuatify the recall with product update really can cover up all people?
HONDA, The Power of Defects.
– Honda: The Power of Defects (Keep selling old design cars)
– TOYOTA: Moving backward (Keep facelifting old cars)
– Proton: Malaysia Boleh (Rebadge with Innovation)
– Perodua: Copy Paste Cars People First (Rebadge with Body-Kit)
– OTHERS: No resale value ….. ????
* Thats why Cars in Malaysia are always behind the curve *
Toyota: Moving forward ( because of it sticky pedal issue so it can’t be brake)
go “update” your honda folks..haha
Product update? I send my Civic 1.8 to be updated to a 2.0? or u update my ‘Grand Canyon’ gap on my dash board to a tighter fit? Honda-san, please don’t lie your pants might catch fire you know.
v pay 4 times of car price,4 times over price spare parts and get rubbish,
later this leak,that leak,this blow,that blow and all mother father stories
when manufacturing dnt knw all these engineers and technicians sleep they didnt do any feasibility study.
NO WORDS TO CONDEMN THEM
u seriously experienced the problems with Honda mate…?
wahhhh… i never thought that much problems associating with Honda
I have a Civic 2.0 and also got lot of problems…Honda quality
is really shits….
1. Put Drive got krik krik krik sound from bottom..complained fix for a while..1 year
later come back again…
2. Drive side window rubber fall out..suddenly put window down..rubber fall out..
Complained to SC…fixed..so far so good..
3. Passenger side car seat…got ktek ktek sound…complain many times, cannot find
the problem…hard to duplicate…note that this was not seat belt problem, which is
known issue for civic that the latch will bang the side and make noise..
4. Now just finish warranty 2 months ago..driver side wheel suspension or something
when turn hard right or left got krik krik sound..this is common problem a lot of
Honda owners complained…
5. Passenger side when lock got knocking sound…SC changed motor, so far so good.
This is my experience with 3 year old Honda Civic 2008 model… kind of faktap…
We’ve highlighted this problem to Honda since 2009, but they just never listened.
And Honda, while you’re at it, get the brakes done right for the Civic and Accord too.
Who says only Proton got power window failure?
What a nice name for a recall.
A better sentence “Product update campaign” to replaced this RECALL word. Good job.
Alamak…product update campaign = product recall lah…
sounds like the guy with this tagline “correct correct correct” aje..
Ha!ha!ha!ha! Who says Honda products better?
At least Honda City < Kia Forte
recall say recall la, no need cover up over your lemons! nak muka sangat tak malu ker?
prrfffftttt
a nice way to say your car in trouble, get it fix with update
im excited!!
product update campaign rulezz
who cares what they call, as long they got initiative to rectify the product & satisfy customer good enuf oledi…
prrfffftttt
R.E.C.A.L.L…???
*in nicer words…. hehehehehe… TOYOTA when is your ‘product update’?
Honda really learn from gov. “price rationalization”. hahahah. Crever ah u.
A……ai(sigh), to those who is considering this brand, please STAY AWAY if you want a problem free life. IF you are one of them, you will have to take leave/unpaid leave to report to Honda service center. Wait for 4-6 hours for other people mistake.
Product Update Campaign. Recall say recall la. This Japs just wanna save face, not honest. Haha.
So Honda Civic v1.2 got a update to Honda Civic v1.2.3 with longer lasting power steering rubber line. well ok…..now what……………….download at Honda service centre..
My brother city(10) kena product update last time. Now he complaint the steering bit senget. Maybe after 4 year they will product update again this problem.
Stereng senget = tukang buat alignment tak reti, not that it cannot be fixed.
Good that they call it for rectification. It is just impossible to have a perfect product. Period.
I would definitely buy again from those manufacturers rather than those never recall anything at all. BTW, I drive City 2008 version. I think it uses EPS.
For your info is not due to alignment, it is due to some parts that currently they do not have stock.
it’s not alignment issue. I’ve had the same issue. Been to Honda SC to change parts related to power steering hose.. and also the what pump.. (can’t remember)
but.. after rectification – if while driving let go the steering wheel.. surely the car moves to the left side of the road.. no matter how many time you go to wheel alignment center.
Stupid honda.! no wonder got customer put sticker – Honda Tak guna!
Naib baik sudah jual itu Honda Civic 2006
Honda is simply overrated in malaysia…
Toyota is boring while proton is shit….
Get a ZOOM-ZOOM….!
Ingatkan engineer thundercat jer yng ciken brand, honda and toyota pon sama… Nissan suda ada recall ka?
Nissan no recall.. coz they sweep under the carpet
Actually last time Nissan latio and grand livina kena recall due to inaccurate fuel gauge..so it seem all 3 kena already..,== and y does old car got no recall…
The power window recall, haven’t they done this twice already? I remember a previous recall on same year Citys for the same problem. Perhaps very few people went to get it checked?
Hyundai should have recall (i mean product update campaign) for their problematic sun roof.
Same go Peugeot 308 turbo battery problem which i suspect due to the altenator or other electrical component.
At lease Honda still take care of 5 year old car owner.
OMG…5 yrs already baru take care. i believed many ppl had changed the faulty parts within 5 yrs. Got refund of that? …this is not product update,bcos it happened many yrs ago and now baru update,its totally “outdated”.
Hyundai recently recall 2007-2009 Elantra due to Air Bags problem, maybe some already have accident & air bags may @ may not already been deployed.
Kia recently too recall 2005-2007 Spectra/Cerato due to Fuel System problem.
OMG ! OMG ! it took 6 year for Kia to realised the problem ??
Honda and Toyota doing the honourable thing as to replace
their defective products even after 6 years.
Tell that to Proton who still cannot accept that their power
windows are of no quality and yet they blame their vendors
rather than take responsibility.
Proton gives you crap and yet the blind Proton supporters think its Emas !!
LOL… honda recall but proton get the bashing?
haiyooo, first toyota, then honda… what happen to the Japs…??
Hahaha, can see how many losers here driving proton. Cant accept the fact that honda are brilliant cars that probably these losers will take a lifetime to buy.
I understand ur pain, save up harder ya peeps! Then maybe u wont condemn the recall so much. Oh yeah, i drove the kia forte 1.6 again and it seriously sucks to the max..
maybe proton supporter in this thread is successful than you…
who knows… so… dont condemn others when you dont know them…
when you support honda or toyota, are they giving you part of their share and profit?
maserati dont be like that!
support proton okey!
still i love honda….cheers..berape loan inspira 1.8 manual?
The problem is this recall is coming way too late, I have spend over thousand to repair the Power steering pump and replaced the hose for my FD1, so are they going to refund me the money or what? I believe I’m not the only one here with this problem, many others.
product update campaign ur dick!!!always waste my time n petrol cost to go honda srvice cnter..i felt a loser now become fd owner..
yo im back!!!! …..err…any nissan teana recall? haha!
suda2 la tuu…wlao pun wa excited sgt about diz news…tp wa msh sedey sgt dgn industri automotif malaysia …aduh! anyways…thanks HONDA…
My Jazz is registered on 10/11/2004 and has done only 7000km+ (could be a record in M’sia). It’s our spare car and always park behind another car hence hardly any usage at all. Problem is the left rear window is easy to wind down but very hard to wind up or needing to pull the switch to one side when using the master switch on the driver side. During warranty period I complained but the Service supervisor always say “we have put some lubrication and its not so stiff/sticky now. Then we found out one day after warranty period that the same window just refuse to wind up even though winding down is ok while using the master switch. The switch at the door is perfect. So the master switch is clearly faulty since day one.The unfortunate thing for me is this little fault was not recorded in service history. During the last similar recall they say my year (2004) was not covered. A quote from the Honda dealer for the master switch replacement is RM700.00. Shocking price!! So no deal.
The problem is for this recall it is for Jazz 2005-2007 and my car is missed out again. Any advice you guys?? Just hate Honda……..
A Jazz as a spare…. I wish I can afford that. :(
sorry, no advice
just sell it off lah…
go get Fiesta or Polo GTI… :D
Current models are affected by these issues or not can only tell after 2-3 years later since the affected models now only know got problems after 2-3 years later.
Few months ago had made a recall & now recall again.I won’t be surprise if one day Honda decides to close its factory here at Melaka due to all these recalls that have damaged its reputation in quality.
got job Honda, still taking care of old model wt this re-call campaign. Warranty claim wise, honda are quite honorable.
They even replaced my steering rack even though its after warranty period, since i did complain about it during warranty period which they had tried to rectify by recalibrating the EPS. Problem persist after warranty, hence they replaced it FOC. (provided u will have to maintain the car at their SC after warranty period expired)
‘product update campaign again’? TV3 uses the word ‘RECALL’ in yesterday buletin utama :-)
As though they are gonna turbo and supercharge the cars…update my ar*&^%.
My 2007 Waja Campro, clocked 125000km, all 4 power windows working fine.
Oh ya, this morning, going to work, touch n go at the toll, there’s a Toyota Camry (2004), open its door to pay the toll.
Pity.
I’ve already listed more than 20 problems with my Personal and Gene2 CPS last time. Why no recall until today. What the heck, I already sold both cars.
Kudos to Toyota and Honda and other manufacturers that do recalls. You’re being responsible. “Bukan lepas tangan” mcm sesetengah manufacturer – “tak apa, ini normal, kita ni SKU (syarikat kurang upaya) kalau abang nak kualiti, abang angkat BMW, Merc”.
Protong – the only good news I heard for the past 27 years is about Protong’s “lifetime warranty” for power window which was raised by a taxi man. Pathethic.
I’ve experienced squeeking sounds recently with my Civic 1.8 year 2006 whenever I turn right and got louder recently. Went to Honda Jln 222, P J and was told that I need to replace drive shaft bracket for RM5.5K !. Wosrt case scenario, power steering will become heavy. Now they said recall for part close proximity. For all I know it was due to this bloody defect causing the squeek or indirectly causing the problem. Yet to fix.
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of a Honda Civic 2006 model. I believe I come under this category of recalls. I was at my service center on Monday this week. I ask if I can get this problem rectified together with my regular service and maintenance. The service personnel says that I cannot perform the recall task because I need to have the letter from Honda informing of the recall.
If I cannot produce the letter, then I cannot send my car in for rectifications. But shouldnt the recall be impacting all cars from 2006 to 2008? Or is Honda Malaysia just selecting a few for the recalls?? What should I do or how should I move forward on getting this rectified?
