Honda (HMC) to Recall Nearly 97K Avancier Models in China

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. HMC has announced that it is going to recall 96,900 Avancier models in China due to a cold-climate engine issue, per Reuters. Honda Avancier is a mid-sized crossover sports utility vehicle (SUV), which is manufactured at either of the two local joint ventures of Honda.

Further, the company is checking whether the same fault has affected its other two models — UR-V crossover SUV and Honda Jade. If the company gets confirmation regarding the same fault, it will announce actions to deal with the issue. Earlier, in 2018, the same issue impelled the automaker to recall 130,000 CR-V SUV models and 294,500 Civic cars in the country.

Engines in the faulty vehicles collect an abnormal amount of un-combusted petrol in its lubricant oil pan, which result in a gasoline odor inside the car or lights up the check-engine option in the car.
