KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia has announced a recall of 87,490 cars for a fuel pump replacement.
In a statement, the company said the recall is a precautionary measure.
"The fuel pump's impeller may swell after prolonged fuel immersion, potentially preventing the vehicle from starting or causing the engine to stall while driving," said Honda Malaysia.
The models involved are the Jazz, City, Civic, Accord, BR-V, HR-V, CR-V and Odyssey.
