Luckcent 4th Gear February 26, 2004 Share February 26, 2004 Just 1 hour ago, news stated that Honda and Mazda cars are being recalled for retrofitting for defects. Here is the report:: TOKYO - Japanese automakers Honda and Mazda said on Thursday they will recall for free repairs a total of 861,000 cars they have sold at home and abroad. Honda Motor Co Ltd notified the transport ministry it will recall 847,000 units of six models -- the Civic, Ferio, Hybrid, Fit, Stepwagon and Stream -- which were built between August 2000 and December 2001, a company spokesman said. Honda will fix a fault in the switch controlling the front headlights at a total cost of 5.77 billion yen (S$90 million), she said. The global total includes 190,424 units sold in Japan, which will cost 1.23 billion yen to recall and fix, she added. Separately Mazda Motor Corp said it will recall 6,559 RX-8 cars sold in Japan because of two defects. The company had identified a problem with the car's manual transmission system that can make a heat shield plate crack or come loose, and a defective shock absorber in the front wheels that can make components come loose while driving, a Mazda spokesman said. The recall will also affect roughly another 7,500 of the exported cars, bringing the worldwide total to about 14,000 units, he said. The recall covers vehicles made between February and August last year and this March. The spokesman could not say how much the recall would cost. Meanwhile Honda America will recall 240 Civic GX cars made in the United States between March 2001 and October 2002 to fix a problem with the power steering that might stop the steering wheel turning, according to documents submitted to the ministry. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinged 5th Gear February 26, 2004 Share February 26, 2004 Charged sky high ... yet the products turn out like this ... I wonder what kind of quality control they adopt ... and fancy them painting such a good picture about the car's capabilities. I really don't wish to see someone die in a brand new car due to building defects. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
