KUALA LUMPUR:
Honda Malaysia is recalling 702 units of the City Hybrid 2021 and Civic 2022 models as a precautionary safety measure.

It said 630 City Hybrid 2021 units are being recalled to replace the advanced driver assistance system camera that is fitted in the front windscreen, as the camera may not be operating properly and may cause the system to be inactive when driving.

Another 72 units of the Civic 2022 model have been recalled to rectify the welding point at the slide adjuster in the driver’s seat.

“This may cause the driver’s seat to not be fixed in position when driving and may compromise the seat belt protection for the driver,” said Honda Malaysia.

The company said inspection, repair and replacement of the affected parts are free.

It said there have been no incidences of crashes or injuries caused by this issue reported in Malaysia.

Vehicle owners may obtain information or check their vehicle status on the product recall by calling Honda Malaysia’s toll-free number at 1-800-88-2020 or logging on to productrecall.honda.com.my.
