What does Dongfeng Honda vehicle recall mean?
1 Answers
Dongfeng Honda recall refers to Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. filing a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the requirements of the 'Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automobile Products' and the 'Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automobile Products'. Here are the relevant details: 1. Recall Scope and Reason: Dongfeng Honda has decided to recall a total of 29,297 units of the 2019 INSPIRE vehicles produced between March 8, 2018, and August 8, 2019, starting from August 30, 2019. The recall is due to the design of the air flow rate at the outlet of the engine intercooler. When driving in high-temperature and high-humidity environments such as heavy rain, a small amount of condensed water may accumulate at the intercooler outlet. During rapid acceleration, condensed water droplets may be sucked into the combustion chamber, causing engine misfire. In extreme cases, this may trigger the engine protection mode, leading to engine stalling. 2. Solution: Dongfeng Honda will install a device to optimize the air flow rate at the intercooler outlet for the affected vehicles free of charge to eliminate potential safety hazards. Considering the current rainy season, before the recall repair, drivers should exercise caution when driving in heavy rain conditions. If they notice restricted acceleration, they should promptly pull over, turn off the engine, and restart the vehicle to deactivate the engine protection mode, allowing normal operation to resume.
