Recall for Honda Fit and Vezel  manufactured from August 2013 through February 2016 

 

 Honda Motor Co. announced today (Apr 4) it will be recalling  160,000 Fit subcompact and Vezel sport-utility vehicles in Japan because of defective power steering and a part that controls the electric current in the vehicles. The recall does not affect any Honda models sold abroad.

 
There have been no injuries related to the problems. Six fires were reported related to the faulty part that controls electricity for capacitors, and two minor accidents were reported to the defect in the steering, according to Honda Motor Co.
 
The recalled vehicles were manufactured from August 2013 through February this year. The Fit were recalled for both problems, but the Vezel did not have the steering problem.

This will be a true test of the service levels of the various PIs.

Yep my SE Dayvid from V1NCAR replied:

 

Regarding vezel recall . If recall is official , LTA will send letter to inform us which chassis involved and what are the recall involved. Then we will notify our customers by official letter to arrange them to replace the parts.

 

Think I'm well covered by reputable PI V1NCAR , I hope ? Just continue to enjoy the ride, nothing very major to lose sleep over it :-)

The never ending story of Fit & Vezel. Sorry for the big font due to cut and paste Bloomberg. Nothing much serious actually, only a very small number of car caught fire and some collisions.  Very likely all Honda cars are NOT AFFECTED in SG.  Just like my KIA too.

 

 

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-04/world-leaders-hid-wealth-via-shell-companies-report-alleges

 

 

 

Honda Motor Co. will conduct at least the sixth round of major recalls involving its top-selling Fit compact in less than three years, as the Japanese automaker struggles to move past the quality woes that contributed to a change in chief executive officers.

The company will recall 164,388 Fit cars after reports of six fires related to an engine control systems flaw, according to a Japan transport ministry statement. Two reports of collisions are prompting a separate recall of 118,715 Fit cars and Vezel crossovers over a power steering defect.

Persistent recalls of the Fit and Vezel that first began in October 2013 were among quality woes that led former President Takanobu Ito to abandon a global sales target before resigning the position. His successor Takahiro Hachigo has reshuffled top management and consolidated responsibility for product planning and evaluation, ceding more control back to the company’s overwhelmed research-and-development division.

............

Previous Fit and Vezel recalls in Japan include:

  • October 2013: Honda recalls 4,883 Fit cars over automatic transmission and control modules
  • December 2013: Extends production period of previous recall, boosting number of cars affected to 36,100 units
  • February 2014: Recalls 81,353 Fit, Vezel vehicles over engine control units
  • July 2014: Extends production period of Fit and Vezel recall, raising number of vehicles affected to 175,356
  • October 2014: Recalls 321,501 Fit and Vezel vehicles over engine ignition coils, power supply circuits

Hi bro,

 

All Vezels in Singapore are Parallel Imported from Japan. Vezel is a JDM model. Which means that our cars are not originally meant for the export market.

 

Essentially, almost all Vezels on our roads today ARE AFFECTED with the exclusion of Hybrid Vezels.

 

HRV's are a different story as they do not come with Start-Stop technology which the Vezels do.
