Honda Global Recalls 640,000 Vehicles


Yesterday, the reporter learned from related parties that Honda Motor Co., Japan’s third-largest automaker, announced on Wednesday that Honda will recall 640,000 cars worldwide due to possible defects in transmission and oil pump systems. The Honda Beijing office told this newspaper that since the models are not exactly the same, the domestic Accord will not implement a recall, but it will add an inspection to some Accord 3.0 vehicles in the future after-sales service. According to Mr. Zhu from Honda's Beijing office, they got in touch with Guangzhou Honda after receiving the news of Honda's recall. After investigation by Guangzhou Honda, they found that the gearbox models of some domestic Accord 3.0 cars and the gearbox models Honda was recalling. similar. However, Honda believes that the failure of the recall may occur only in the following four situations: 1. The gearbox is in the 5th gear; 2. The engine is in the low-speed and high-load running state; 3. The torque converter and the clutch are completely Locking state; 4. When the road surface slopes from 3.5% to 6% on a stable high-speed road for a long time, it may cause the oil pressure in the gearbox to be insufficient, so that the tooth surface of the 2nd gear is insufficiently lubricated. Second gear gear wear may occur. However, Guangzhou Honda has so far not found a report of such failures. Guangzhou Honda also investigated some of the same domestic Accords 3.0 that were to be recalled, and found no abnormalities. Therefore, Honda will not implement a recall on the domestic Accord. However, based on the attitude of being responsible to users, Honda will add a service to these Accord 3.0s to check the operation of the transmission in the future regular maintenance.
