HONDA JAZZ RECALL STATEMENT

Honda (UK) is to contact 171,372 owners of the Jazz (2002-2008 year model), to arrange an examination of the master power window switch, as part of a voluntary safety recall.

The master window switch in the driver’s door can malfunction when exposed to large amounts of liquid ingress, for example if the window is left open frequently or for long periods during heavy rain. Water and other fluids can cause the window switch’s circuit board to malfunction and prevent opening or closing of the window. In rare cases, the circuit board can overheat causing melting or smoke or, potentially, fire.

It’s expected that around 10 per cent of the cars recalled will need a replacement switch, with the remainder requiring the fitment of a waterproof skirt to prevent further water entry.

Honda (UK) will begin contacting those Jazz owners affected by the recall in March, in order to have the rectification work carried out. In all cases the work will be carried out at no cost to the customer.
