New Delhi: Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) on Monday recalled 31,226 units of select variants of the Amaze compact sedan and Brio hatchback to inspect them for a possible defect in the brake system.
The company will inspect the proportioning valve of non-ABS variants of both models manufactured between February 28, 2013, and January 16, 2014. The recall is for 15,623 Brio cars and 15,603 petrol Amaze cars, HCIL said in a statement.
The proportioning valve is part of the system that adjusts brake distribution pressure to the wheels. The inspection and replacement, if needed, would be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India and owners will be contacted individually in a phased manner.
“There is a possibility that in some of these cars there is mis-assembly of the proportioning valve. However, no complaint related to this part has been reported. HCIL will voluntarily replace the proportioning valve after inspection, if required,” it added.
Customers can check if their cars are among those recalled by submitting their 17-character alpha-numeric vehicle identification numbers on the company website.
ABS variants of Brio and the petrol Amaze and all variants of the diesel Amaze won’t need to be inspected because the proportioning valve is not a part of their braking systems.
In April, Maruti Suzuki recalled 1,03,311 units of its Ertiga, Swift and DZire models of specific batches.
