Honda to recall 2338 units of Brio, Amaze & CR-V

Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) has announced that it will recall 1040 units of its Brio hatchback, 1235 units of the Amaze, and 63 units of the CR-V, manufactured between September 2011 and July 2014, to carry out the preventive replacement of the driver side airbag inflator. The recall is a part of the Japanese manufacturers global recall regarding a possible incorrect assembly of the baffle plate in the airbag inflator.

While no reports of the airbag failing have been reported in India, Honda is carrying out the replacement of the part as a preventive measure. However, in some cases, the incorrect assembly of the baffle plate does cause the pressure within the inflator to rise excessively when the airbag deploys during an accident which can cause damage to the container.

Carried out HCIL dealerships across India at no expense to the owner, the company will individually contact owners to let them know if their car is required to be brought in. In addition, customers will also be 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 (www.hondacarindia.com).
