Honda to Recall 2338 Cars in India

Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) today announced that it would carry out preventive replacement of Driver Side Air Bag Inflator on a total of 2338 cars manufactured between September 2011 to July 2014.

The affected cars include 1040 units of the Honda Brio, 1235 units of the Honda Amaze and 63 units of the Honda CR-V. This exercise is part of Honda's global recall regarding a possible incorrect assembly of the Baffle Plate in the Inflator.

HCIL is carrying out the part replacement as part of a global exercise but there has been no reporting of any incident related to this part in India. 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.

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.
