Honda Malaysia will recall 2009 City and 2009/2010 Jazz

No, I have no intention to turn this blog into a four-wheeled one…but being under the Power  of Dream flag since my old City IDSI and currently Civic, I should take this opportunity to let you know that Honda Malaysia has announced that it will recall 21,956 units of the third-generation City (model year 2009) as well as 1,680 units of the second-generation Jazz (model year 2009 and 2010). The recall addresses problems with the lost motion springs and the retainers in the affected vehicles, with replacement of these to be carried out with countermeasure parts. In the affected cars, the lost motion springs – which are compressed by rocker arms in normal engine use – may bend or break over time, resulting in irregular engine noise and potentially causing engine stalls –whatever that means…if you are one of the victim, you should be getting a letter from Honda Malaysia on that.
