VR also noticed the recall of 652 Hondacars, including Accord CR3 produced in 2012, Accord CR2 manufactured from 2013to 2016 and Odyssey cars manufactured in the 2015-2017 period.
According to Honda Vietnam, handling thecontact surface of the rear-view mirror control switch on the car is notsuitable. If used for a long time it can get oxidised, which will result in therear-view mirror on the car door getting automatically folded when the vehicleis running, parking, or not working when the switch is on. When this happens,the driver’s vision will be affected and may even cause accidents.
Honda vehicles, which are affected by thisproblem will be checked and repaired free of charge at an estimated time of 12minutes per car.
The repairing programme will take place fromDecember 25, 2017, to December 24, 2018.-VNA
