Honda announces another SUV recall
Print Edition
Honda Motor Co Ltd will recall 69,090 UR-V sport utility vehicles in China, market regulators said yesterday, a result of a cold-climate engine problem that has already forced the recall of hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
The UR-V is produced and sold in China, the world’s biggest auto market, by Honda’s joint venture with the Dongfeng Motor Group.
As many as 18,907 vehicle recalls are linked to problems caused by an unusual amount of uncombusted petrol collecting in the engine’s lubricant oil pan, the Defective Product Administration Center of State Administration of Market Regulation said yesterday.
The issue in some cases caused a strong odor of gasoline inside the car and in other cases the car’s check-engine light came on, Honda has said. It says the problem does not affect the engine’s performance and there have been no reports of accidents.
Honda recalled 96,900 SUV Avancier vehicles on Monday. The same issue also prompted the recall of 130,000 of its popular CR-V SUV models and 294,500 Civic cars from China this year.
Honda’s China spokesman Zhu Linjie declined to comment yesterday but he said on Monday the company was now checking to see if the same issue was affecting the Honda Jade car and the UR-V crossover SUV.
