The recall program started on May 8, 2024. All affected car owners will be notified via mail, email, or telephone. Replacement parts will be installed once they are available. Honda Vietnam will bear the cost of inspecting and replacing the affected parts.
For imported vehicles not officially distributed by Honda Vietnam, the company will still assist in checking relevant information if customers bring their vehicles to authorized dealerships.
