The Japanese automotive giant wants to replace a faulty fuel return pipe in models of its sedan City and multi-purpose vehicle Mobilio.
Japanese carmaker Honda has decided to recall 90,210 diesel cars in India to replace a faulty fuel return pipe, reported PTI. It said it will recall 64,428 units of diesel variants of Honda City manufactured from December 2013 to July 2015 and 25,782 units of diesel variants of Honda Mobilio manufactured from June 2014 to July 2015.
Honda Cars India Limited said in a statement, "There is a possibility that in some of these cars, the fuel return pipe may come out, resulting in fuel leakage and leading to engine stoppage." The faulty parts will be replaced free of cost at authorised dealerships across India from December 19, 2015 in a phased manner and the owners will be contacted individually, it added.
In September, Honda India had announced a recall of around 2.24 lakh units of its premium sports utility vehicle CR-V, sedans Civic and City, and hatchback Jazz, manufactured between 2003 and 2012 to replace faulty airbag inflators. The Indian automotive industry has recalled more than 1.3 million vehicles on a voluntary basis in the last three-and-half years.
