It’s recall time for Honda that said on Monday it is calling in three of its models globally in order to repair three unrelated problems. The bulk of the recall campaign concerns the Fit/Jazz subcompact: 960,000 cars built between October 2005 and October 2009 and sold mainly in China and other Asian countries are recalled to fix malfunctioning power window switches.
The Japanese company also intends to recall 26,000 units of its CR-Z hybrid sports coupe, 5,626 of which have been sold in the US, due to a problem with the ECU (engine control unit).
Last Sunday, Honda also said that it would recall 80,111 examples of its 2006 MY CR-V small SUV sold in the US in order to replace the power-window master switch as it can allow moisture from interior cleaners to gather and, over time, the accumulated residue may degrade the electronics and even cause a fire.
So far, no accidents related to the three problems have been reported. Honda decline to reveal the cost of this massive global recall campaign.
