Honda recalls 700,000 cars over engine worry
17 February 2011 Last updated at 11:24 GMT

Honda is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles around Asia and North America after it found a defective spring that could cause engines to stall.

Some of the carmaker's Fit, Freed and City compact car models are affected - though no accidents have been reported.

At least 72 complaints had been filed in Honda's home country of Japan, with 29 elsewhere the firm said.

The spring had been placed incorrectly in a small box inside the engine, a spokesman added.

The recall includes 167,000 vehicles in Japan, 156,000 in China, and 233,000 in the rest of Asia, Honda said. About 122,000 cars were being recalled in North America it added.

Two months ago Honda recalled 1.35 million Fit cars over a headlight defect.

Most of the ones in Asia that are being recalled are from India and the ASEAN....

Isn't it the ASEAN City is being assembled here in the Philippines?

The local City made is only sold for local consumption, Honda PH does not export. Ganun din Toyota and Mitsubishi their local production is only for local consumption... Ford lang nag e-export sa ibang bansa that is locally made...

The last time the Jazz had a recall they just said we are not included... More likely, same response... Dito sa Pilipinas kailangan may mangyari muna bago aksyon... Magastos kasi ang recall tapos wala naman nangyayari!

^^^ Yup, I remember that.

OT: It was our old Jazz then.... And, I understand another one just recently.

Pero, they made a silent recall of the Jazz just before that. They called me and told me that they were having "product upgrade" or something.... I was postponing it until I could but they were persistent... So, I brought the car to Honda and they changed the CVT fluid......Later on, the issue of the CVT tranny came out..... Another "half-truth" or "half-lie" whichever way you want to look at it....

Yes upgrade nga raw pero actually change cvt fluid pero di sila umamin na hindi tugma ang dating fluid na nakalagay. Yan ang maala-ala ko sa aming honda jazz noon.
