Honda Cars India (HCIL) on Thursday announced that it would recall 64,428 units of diesel variants of the ‘City’ manufactured from December 2013 to July 2015 and 25,782 units of diesel variants of ‘Mobilio’ manufactured from June 2014 to July this year to replace the Fuel Return Pipe of these vehicles.
This is one of the highest ever recall by the company in India.
“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 company said in a statement.
The Fuel Return Pipe and related parts will be replaced free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India from December 19, in a phased manner and the owners will be contacted individually, it said.
The customers can also check whether their car is covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company’s website, it added.
