Owners and users of the Honda Odyssey and Accord, take note. Honda Malaysia (HM) has announced a product recall for the MPV (2014-2017 YM) and sedan (2013-2016 YM), and it is due to a battery sensor failure and defective door mirror component.
The battery sensor failure issue is due to inaccurate forming on the printed circuit board (PCB) in the battery sensor during its production process. This may cause an electrical short circuit of the sensor, and the possibility of smoke coming from the hood or in the worst case, a fire. For this, 20,233 units of Accord manufactured between 2013 to 2016 are affected.
The defective door mirror component is due to inconsistent surface treatment of the movable contact area inside the door mirror retracting switch, which may cause the affected door mirror to retract during driving or parking. 27,912 units of Accord (2013-2016) and 971 units of Odyssey (2014-2017) are involved.
As of today, the replacement parts availability is at 50% for both the battery sensor and the door mirror component. Affected customers should make an appointment with their nearest/regular Honda authorised dealer for free parts replacement. Affected customers will be informed via letters, which will include details of the recall.
HM says that there have been no incidence of fire, crashes or injuries related to these issues reported in Malaysia as of today, and that all models currently on sale are not affected by the issues. Check the recall status of your Honda at www.productrecall.honda.com.my or by calling 1800-88-2020.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Hmm, I wonder if the Accord re-badged Proton Perdana will be affected as well….
Not affected. This only kena the model after Perdana2 gen.
Pity some car companies, they have no money and in bankruptcy, how do they do a recall?
Recall cost millions.
Recall or lost millions of P1huture customer.
Really? Which news told u Honda no money and bankruptcy?
Errrrr… I think he talked about proton. Syyyy!!! Secret.
Seriously? The article talks about Honda and he again go ranting off tangent on P1 again? Some kinda flipped thinking there.
If the car company goes bankrupt there would no longer in operation isn’t it, how to recall then, Did you see SAAB or MG Rover has any recall recently ?
Current gen Accord machoer than new gen.
small issue only…. not life-threatening and Honda is still a good and safe choice for car buyers. If you do a survey 99% of honda buyers are happy with their cars.
99%? pfft please lah sir
from top cake CKD quality, to rattling sounds, to noisy tyres, to crowded service centers, honda user experience is way subpar than what the sales numbers show
If you’ve went to any of their SC and talked to other customers over there before, or if you look at their FB page, or if you even own one, you’ll know that a very very big margin of the buyers are not happy with the built quality / after sales service of the car.
Honda is LAST PLACE in JD Power Customer Service Index 2017 Malaysia.
This is “happy”???
Honda Safe choice? OMG !! Damn funny !! hahaha
best is perodua new myvi, 5 stars cap. enough said.
The one issue with defective door mirror is true, happen to my 2016 accord. Already explained to honda rep during car service, but hard to proof cause.its happen randomly.
why not buy Accordana
Agree with U. Bcos they sell so few Accordana, they can check the car better B4 delivering.
Surely everybody checks their new car b4 taking delivery. Im sure u do too right? And not just for Perdana2, even el cheapo Axia as well.
Compromised QUALITY.. But at least Honda MALAYSIA address this issue..
Proton had to pay Honda Japan few hundred million in royalty for the rights to rebadge the Accordana. I wonder with this defect, can Proton ask a discount on the royalty?
Do share how does this recall affects P1?
honda build quality in this few years back are very bad. if you ask the SC they will either blame customer fault or they will just tell that there is no issue. In this case I observe that mainly all CKD model, proudly assemble by bangla.
This is Honda cars are the best.
Mmm… Have addressed those issues to Honda service center back in 2013 and only now they realized and recall…. Hahaha… Typicall Honda malaysia.. Never admit before and just recall now
Itu laa beli laa honda lagi….quality, fit and finish teruk, bunyi tayar macam bunyi troli di super market. They think they buy honda and ‘berangan’ drive like a bmw ??
at least they informed.. Perodua just sent mail and request user to come and service for defective gearbox part.
P2 celup jepunis got Gearbox problem?! Mana boleh! This must be fake recall letter.
Honda is selling many more cars these 2-3 years, there is no new service center being opened as I can see. So all the SC are over crowded and their will only be interested in doing the normal servicing, i.e, change engine oil then solving these complex quality issues.
Buy those brands that selling lesser cars, most probably you will get better service.
