Honda recalled over 8K old City sedans in India

New Delhi: Japanese auto major Honda has decided to recall 8,532 "City" sedans manufactured in 2007 from the Indian market for preventive part replacement of power window switches that have the potential to catch fire. "The third generation City currently sold in India is not affected and does not require any part replacement," a company spokesperson said Saturday, a day after 646,000 "Jazz" hatchbacks were recalled from the global markets.

Honda said there was a potential problem of smoke coming out from power window switches of its Indian City models manufactured in 2007 if water seeps in when left open during heavy rain or due to spillage of liquid.

"The replacement will be carried out free of cost. The company will communicate directly with the owners which are covered under this part replacement," the spokesperson said.

The company also clarified that the global recall of Jazz does not impact on the version sold in India. "The recall by Honda applies to first generation Jazz and does not apply to the second generation Honda Jazz, which has been sold in India since June 2009."
