Honda Vietnam recalls two high-end car models due to technical errors

Honda Vietnam will have to recall two Accord and Odyssey models to fix technical errors.

The Vietnam Register has just approved a recall plan for two Accord and Odyssey models of the Japanese auto joint venture Honda, to fix a faulty door mirror control switch on the vehicles.

Accordingly, the total number of vehicles that Honda Vietnam must recall this time is 652, of which the Accord was produced from 2012 to 2015, and the Odyssey was produced from 2015 to 2017.

Window switch error is the reason why Honda Vietnam had to recall Accord and Odyssey.

Describing the error in a report sent to the Vietnam Register, the Japanese automobile joint venture stated that due to improper treatment of the contact surface in the rearview mirror control switch on the vehicle, if used for a long time, it may be oxidized, causing the rearview mirror on the car door to automatically fold in when the vehicle is running, parked, or not working when the switch is turned on.

In case the above phenomenon occurs, it may affect the user's visibility, in the worst case it may cause insecurity for the user due to not being able to observe behind because the mirror is folded, or cause discomfort for the user.

Honda Vietnam will have to inspect and replace faulty parts for the recalled vehicles from December 25. The estimated repair time is about 12 minutes per vehicle.
