Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) have announced an recall of 2,338 cars. The Japanese company will carry out preventive replacement of Driver Side Air Bag Inflator of 1040 units of Brio, 1235 units of Amaze and 63 units of the CR-V SUV manufactured between September 2011 and July 2014.
The company is carrying out the part replacement as part of a global exercise by Honda Motor Company to ensure stringent quality standards for its products. There has been no reporting of any incident related to this part in India.
The replacement would be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India, and the owners will be contacted individually. The customers can also check whether their car will be covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company’s website (www.hondacarindia.com).
In case of certain vehicles, due to incorrect assembly of Baffle Plate, the pressure within the Inflator may rise excessively when the Driver Side Airbag deploys in an accident or other situation, causing damage to the container.
