Honda Malaysia recall affects 1527 vehicles built between 2020 and 2022
Honda Malaysia has issued a precautionary recall for four models, BR-V, HR-V, City and City Hatchback. A total of 1527 cars are affected.
For the City and City Hatchback, the recall is for a loose nut torque on the Alternating Current Generator (ACG). According to Honda Malaysia, this recall is a precautionary safety measure. The nut tightening on the ACG terminal of the engine harness will be inspected. This may be loose and cause poor contact at the terminal. As a result, there may be a battery malfunction: the engine may halt while driving or the driver unable to start the engine after the car stops. The models affected are 1,068 units of City 2021 Year Model and City Hatchback 2022 Year Model.
For the HR-V and BR-V, the recall relates to the inspection of the bolt earth grounding tightness.
This is also a precautionary safety measure to inspect the tightening of bolt earth grounding that may lead to loose wire harness. This may cause poor contact on the terminal and may result in the engine halting while driving or unable to start the engine after the car stops. The models affected are 343 units of HR-V 2020 Year Model and 116 units of BR-V 2021 Year Model.
All affected customers will get notification letters, with details of the product recall. Honda Malaysia urges all affected customers to contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment to have their vehicles checked and repaired if required, subject to parts availability.
