“We are currently in the process of contacting owners of affected vehicles but would also like to encourage Honda customers to access our website, www.honda.co.za where they can utilise the VIN-checker to confirm whether their vehicle is affected and also confirm/amend their contact details.”
Honda Motor Industry South Africa explains that to date there has not yet been any incidents involving deflective inflators in the South African market and that there is no risk of the driver or passenger airbag fitted to your vehicle deploying unintentionally.
This concern may only be exhibited in the event that the vehicle is involved in an impact sufficient to deploy the vehicle’s airbags.
“The recall campaign will be conducted in phases. Replacement components are currently being sourced, following receipt of which, owners will be contacted by Honda Motor Southern Africa to make an appointment with their dealer for replacement of the airbag module(s). The replacement will take between one and two hours at no cost to the owner.”
Honda insists that safety and peace of mind are of top concern.
