Honda Recall, what to do if you have a recall affected model?
The Honda Company reportedly is not in a position to immediately fix the problem of the recalled cars. So what should you do if your Honda Fit is on the recall list?
AFTER THE Toyota recall, it’s now the turn of Honda, another Japanese car maker issuing recall on 646,000 models of its cars – City, Jazz and Fit.
The Honda Company reportedly is not in a position to immediately fix the problem of the recalled cars. However it maintained that the problem is a minor one and is unlikely to cause any major accident.Only the 2007-08 models are found to be affected. Models from 2009-10 are reportedly working fine. Seven incidents have been confirmed in the US so far where the window switch caught fire after coming in contact with rain water. None of the incidents though, witnessed any human injury. So what should you do if your Honda Fit is on the recall list? Sources said that Fit drivers should be conscious about just how much liquid gets on the switch, but added that only “extreme” amounts could trigger a problem. Drivers are not advised to bring their cars in to dealers just yet, because they don’t yet have the requisite parts. Only 10 per cent of the models will need new switches, according to a report, while the rest will require the installation of a water-tight skirt to keep the switch dry. Fit owners will soon receive a mailing from the company with further instructions, reports said. Honda Fit’s sleek design makes for a shallow angle between the interior driver-side door and the roof, letting rain fall directly into the car with the window down. According to reports the Fit can be equipped with door visors for about $75.
