Honda Malaysia (HM) is recalling a total of 1,527 units that includes City, City Hatchback, HR-V and BR-V models. It’s for two different precautionary safety measures.
First, 1,068 units of the MY2021 City and MY2022 City Hatchback are being recalled for the inspection of the nut torque on the alternating current generator (ACG). HM will inspect the nut tightening on the ACG terminal of the engine harness. A loose one may cause poor contact and battery malfunction, which in turn may lead to the engine stopping while driving, or the car being unable to start.
Separately, 343 units of the MY2020 HR-V and 116 units of the MY2021 BR-V are being recalled for the inspection of the bolt earth grounding tightness. A loose bolt may lead to a loose wire harness. Similarly, this may lead to poor contact, which in turn may lead to the engine stopping while driving, or the car being unable to start.
“Honda Malaysia apologises for the inconvenience caused to the affected customers and reassures that all current production and selling models are not affected in this product recall. As of today, there are no incidences of crashes or injuries caused by this issue reported in Malaysia,” the company said in a statement.
HM adds that it believes that the product recall is necessary as customer safety is its top priority. “Honda Malaysia will continue to uphold transparency and stringent controls for customers,” it added.
All affected customers will be informed via letters, which will include details of the product recall. Upon receipt, contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment to have your car checked and repaired if required, subject to parts availability. It’s free of charge, of course.
Know of any owners of the Honda City, City Hatchback, HR-V and BR-V from the model years listed above? Alert them. For enquiries, Honda’s toll-free number is 1-800-88-2020.

lol honda quality for you and yet so many are hyped about the upcoming hr-v. said this once, and i’ll say it again, for those thinking about getting a honda in malaysia, may the odds be ever in your favor :’)
The new Honda models are all improved inside out. So no more problem beb, just start enjin n drive. Power of dreams
How come many new fresh honda buyers still complaining 2022 honda models too?
did you even read the article? the recalls affect 2020-2022 models so idk what universe you’re living in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honda Malaysia defects rate is higher than Mazda or Toyota.
Really?
Hala honda…the power of dreams…please continuing buy this over price brand but lack of qualities
Honda QC poor quality? Lol!
wow thats bad….i think toyota is better….at least no major recalls like honda….looking forward to the new vios
Yes, I agree Honda has poor QC . I have experienced my CRV 2020 model car audio video panel going blank with message showing software issue. Only done 3k+ mileage without any modification to any part of the car but yet problem so fast. Problem will not occur if they used quality AV home entertainment system in all their model. Surprisingly the model or make of the in car entertainment system is not stated.
Steering rack…can’t be solved
Steering rack…still can’t be solved
Recalling something that is not even a design issue… more of a process control issue. Someone in the QC team need to get the big envelope.
Habeslah Jepunis brand name! So fast so new models now having problems.
How does the Recall of City, City Hatchback, HR-V and BR-V – 2020-2022 models, total of 1,527 units involved makes any sense when Honda sold like 8k cars a month?
Honda Malaysia warranty for certain paint defects are not honored at all without valid justification.Buyers beware. Safer to go for Toyota.
Hope that there will be no serious issues on crv models.
Told u dont copy BMW, see? Your half baked tech cant match BMW tech so now sakit kepala…kekeke..ppl who buy the city now not so BMW already. My female colleague always tease the new city when they saw it. Say dont want BF to buy that car later very embarass when exit car together with a bmw beside.
