Honda Malaysia has announced a recall involving 87,490 units of Honda vehicles sold in Malaysia between 2013 and 2024. The recall of the vehicles is to replace a fuel pump as a precautionary measure although, to date, there have been no incidents reported which have been due to problems of the fuel pump.
The company believes this recall is necessary as customer safety is Honda Malaysia’s top priority. Although many of the affected vehicles no longer have the original warranty, the replacement will still be made at no charge to the owner as this is a matter concerning safety. Honda Malaysia also stresses that all current production and selling models are not affected.
