A day after Toyota made news with the recalls, Honda has announced the recall of 6.5 lakh Jazz and City models. The recall includes 1,40,000 vehicles in the United States and covers the models sold in North America, South America, Europe, South Africa and Asia, but not Japan. Caused by a faulty window switch, which could cause water to enter the power window switch and in some cases cause a fire, the recall is said to have been initiated by three reported cases of fires due to the defect, two in the United States and one in South Africa. In Britian, the company is likely to recall 172,000 units after a fire broke out in one last year, killing a toddler. The situation in India is not clear yet. No official statement from Honda Siel Cars India has been issued, stating if the Jazz and City cars in India would be recalled or not.
