Honda Jazz Recall - the official word.

You may have heard or seen in the press of a recall to the Honda Jazz in the UK.

Often these stories are not told accurately, so put your mind at rest we have published the Honda UK press release here. However, if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to contact our team here at Barretts Honda 01227 866266.

 

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.

-Ends-

Notes:
The recall action affects approximately 646,000 Jazz models globally. It affects those models built in Japan, China, Brazil, Thailand, Malaysia and India.

Barretts Honda's Jazz tops residuals tables.

Barretts Honda of Canterbury are pleased to announce that the Honda Jazz is Britain’s best car for retaining its value according to Parker’s annual depreciation report which surveyed almost 300 model ranges.

As well as class-leading residual values, the latest Jazz – which went on sale in 2008 – offers many features of a bigger car such as load space, driving feel and high-spec equipment, but with the great fuel economy, low emissions and more affordable running costs of a small one, making it ideal for car leasing and contract hire customers.

And the Japanese carmaker can afford to be pretty smug at the moment, with its newly-launched CR-V set to boost the residuals at the larger end of the Honda model line-up. The 2.2-litre ES, likely to be the most popular variant, has a residual value of 39.1 per cent based on 3 years or 60,000 miles. Its nearest competitor, the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 Sport TDi, comes in at 38.9 per cent.

Residual Values
Residual values from CAP Monitor based on three years or 60,000 miles are:

• Jazz 1.2 S (90PS) 42%
• Jazz 1.2 SE (90PS) 43%
• Jazz 1.4 ES (100PS) manual 44%
• Jazz 1.4 EX (100PS) manual 44%

The Parker’s survey uses the value of cars, as if they were being sold privately, in good condition with 10,000 miles on the clock and compares this to their cost as new, 12 months earlier.

Small cars showed they are certainly the safest bet for depreciation, taking 35 of the top 40 places in the index.

The best performers of 2009

1. Honda Jazz (08 on) – £1379?2
2. Fiat 500 (08 on) – £1460?3
3. SEAT Ibiza (08 on) – £1552?4

5. Mazda 2 (07 on) – £1702?6

8. Suzuki Swift (05 on) – £1900?9
9. Toyota Aygo (05 on) – £2148?10
10. Mitsubishi i (07 on) – £2271

Los Angeles Motor Show - Honda P-NUT

The Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) design study model demonstrates a futuristic concept for an ultra-compact and sophisticated city coupe, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Conceived around a small "footprint" for maximum convenience in tight urban settings, the packaging concept integrates a center driving position configuration and a rear powertrain layout. The exterior styling leverages crisp angles with dynamic flowing lines that originate from the front of the vehicle and span outward toward the rear. The end result is a sleek and aggressive exterior that also allows for a spacious and open interior with excellent visibility.

"A new generation is discovering the benefits of living in urban centers that provide convenient access to business, entertainment and social opportunities," said Dave Marek, director of advanced design for Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "The Personal-Neo Urban Transport concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle conceived exclusively around the city lifestyle."

The exterior styling is intended to capture a future direction for premium sophistication while balancing the need for maximum interior space and an aerodynamic appearance. The interior layout, in conjunction with the rear powertrain design, contributes prominently to the exterior's overall shape.

The layout of the interior space, with its center driving position flanked by two rear seats, provides generous legroom for all occupants, roughly the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan in a vehicle that has an exterior footprint similar to a micro car. Interior functionality is increased by rear seating areas that fold up and out of the way to increase storage capacity. The windshield serves as a heads-up display for the navigation system and the back-up camera.

The modular rear engine bay, depicted on the exterior by blue composite material, is designed to accommodate a wide variety of potential propulsion technologies including a conventional small displacement internal combustion engine, a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, or a battery-electric powertrain.

"The objective of the exterior and interior designers was to explore the potential for a new type of small-segment-category vehicle that overcomes many of the objections for existing micro-car designs," said Marek. "While the Honda P-NUT concept introduces function-oriented concepts, it also shows that small cars don't have to compromise on style or amenities."

The Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Los Angeles developed the P-NUT design study model. Honda R&D Americas began its operations in California in 1975 with local market research activities and has steadily grown its capabilities over the past 33 years to include all aspects of new vehicle research, design and development. Recent Honda-brand efforts include trend-setting products such as the Pilot, Ridgeline, Element, Civic Coupe and Civic Si Coupe.
