Recall for Honda City and Jazz

Honda Malaysia is recalling 21,956 units of 2009 3rd Generation City and 1,680 units of 2nd Generation Jazz produced in 2009 and 2010 to replace the lost motion springs and the retainers for all vehicles with countermeasure parts. According to a statement from the company, the lost motion springs, which are compressed by rocker arms in normal engine use, may bend or break over time resulting in irregular engine noise and potentially causing engine stalls.

To date, the company reports that no crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue. It is also stressed that models currently being sold do not have this technical issue. The recall is being conducted worldwide.

“We sincerely apologize to our customers and deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this predicament. It is our priority to put our customers first. To address this issue, we will be writing to all the affected customers to send their vehicles to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification from us,” said Yoichiro Ueno, Managing Director & CEO of Honda Malaysia.

The company is in the midst of preparing the replacement parts. Necessary inspection and replacement will be carried out when the parts are ready. All charges incurred in the inspection and replacement work will be borne by Honda Malaysia.

For more information, call the Honda Tollfree number at 1-800-88-2020, or visit any authorized Honda dealer.
