Honda Recalls City Automatic

In a recent press statement, Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL) announced a recall of 3,879 units of the City automatic sold from February – November 2014. The Japanese car maker will update the software that manages the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Updating the software optimises the hydraulic pressure applied to the transmission. 

The big H will update the software free of cost at any of their dealerships starting 24th October. In fact, Honda will also be communicating this recall to all City Automatic owners personally.  Moreover, customers can also check if their City Automatic’s software needs an update by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a special microsite that has been created on the company’s website. 

The Honda City is currently the best-selling C-segment sedan in the country and has been leading the charts ever since its launch in early 2013. Aside from the City, the company’s product range includes Honda Brio, Honda Jazz, Honda Amaze, Honda Mobilio, Honda City and Honda CR-V. The company has a strong sales and distribution network with 255 facilities in 167 cities spread across the country.
