Honda recalls City to replace faulty engine part
Posted on: 18/Feb/2011 2:28:21 AM
Honda’s Indian subsidiary will recall over 58,000 of its City cars — a figure close to its domestic annual car sales — in one of the country’s biggest recalls and the second such move by the Japanese giant in just over a year.
The recalls are being made to replace a defective part that could stall engine restarts and will affect 57,853 units of its best-selling City model manufactured between November 2008 and December 2009. Honda has the capacity to produce about one lakh cars but sells about 55,000-60,000 cars in India every year. It has sold 51,045 units in the nine months ended January 2011.
This is the second recall by the Japanese major since last January when it recalled 8,532 City cars made in 2007 to replace defective power window switches that could cause fire. Honda has now recalled more than four million vehicles globally since February 2010, while Nissan has pulled back around 3.5 million in the same period.
Honda said the current recall doesn’t impact City sedans, which are being produced currently, as it has carried out the necessary modification in the production process from December 2010.
