More Hondas counted in Takata recall program

Recalls extended to later models of CR-V, City, Insight and Jazz

Honda has officially announced its recall for faulty Takata airbag inflators is expanded to include later models of its most popular cars.

The vehicles snared in the latest recall notice include the 2011 model year CR-V, 2012 model year City, model years 2012-13 Insight and model years 2012-14 Jazz. Over 21,000 additional vehicles are affected, and Honda Australia is encouraging owners to check an online VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) database www.honda.com.au/recall to determine whether their vehicle is one of those recalled.

In line with other millions of vehicles sold with faulty Takata airbag inflators, the Hondas that are the subject of the recall may be fitted with airbags that "deploy abnormally" and shower the seat occupant with shrapnel. According to Honda Australia, mechanics have been reinstating airbags at the rate of around 5000 a week, but this latest recall will be delayed by parts availability. Honda will contact owners once the parts arrive – driver's front SRS airbag inflator, in this specific case.

The work will be carried out at no cost to the customer.

City model year 2012 – MRHGM2640CP080001 to MRHGM2640CP080780
