Honda recalls City, Mobilio over faulty fuel return pipes

Honda has announced that it is recalling 64,428 units of the diesel variants of the Honda City and 25,782 units of the diesel variants of the Mobilio to replace their fuel return pipes.

The recall covers City sedans manufactured between December 2013 and July 2015 and Mobilio MPVs manufactured between June 2014 and July 2015. According to Honda, there is a possibility that in some of these cars, the fuel return pipe may come out, resulting in fuel leakage and leading to engine stoppage.

The fuel return pipe and related parts will be replaced free of cost at Honda dealerships across India from December 19, 2015 in a phased manner.

Customers can log on to Honda's website and ascertain if their cars are in the list of recalled vehicles. Owners need to enter their car's 17-character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite that has been created.
