Honda Malaysia (HM) has issued a recall involving 2,814 units of the HR-V (2016 model year), due to a possibility that the front stabiliser bar may break under high stress.
According to the company, the potential breakage is due to insufficient temperature control during its production process, resulting in compromised strength of the stabiliser bar. If broken, it may cause the wheels to be unbalanced, causing instability to the car. A symptom of this is when the car starts to involuntarily pull to the left or right.
The company has started notifying its customers via letters. Those affected by the recall are highly advised to send their vehicles for inspection. Compromised stabiliser bars will be replaced with newly made parts that meet the required manufacturing standards, and the rectification costs in entirety will be absorbed by Honda Malaysia.
As of today, no accidents, injuries or deaths have been reported with regards to the matter. HR-V customers are encouraged to check their recall status here or by calling the Honda Toll Free number 1-800-88-2020.
Currently, stocks for the replacement is at 50% (nationwide), but availability will be at 100% by mid-November 2017. HM said no other models within the line-up are affected by this issue.
