PETALING JAYA: Honda Malaysia today announced a product recall involving an additional 77,708 units of vehicles to replace the fuel pump as a precautionary measure.
The recall affects seven models namely Accord, BR-V, City, Civic, CR-V, HR-V and Jazz. The 2019 City is by far the most affected with over 30,000 units being recalled.
In June last year, Honda Malaysia began a recall involving 55,354 cars over the same issue, in line with Honda's global fuel pump recall.
Current models are not affected in this product recall.
Honda Malaysia said a faulty fuel pump could lead to difficulty in starting the engine, loss of engine power or vehicle stalling. There have so far been no incidents of crashes or injuries caused by this issue reported in Malaysia.
All affected customers will be informed by letter. Customers can also check if their vehicle is affected in the fuel pump recall via the HondaTouch application. Honda Malaysia urges all affected customers to contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment upon receipt of the notification to replace the fuel pump, subject to parts availability.
The replacement of the affected fuel pump is free of charge and all cost related to the replacement will be borne by Honda Malaysia. The replacement stock will be available in stages.
