Honda Vietnam recalls nearly 2,700 CR-V Hybrid

Honda Vietnam announced that it will recall 2,695 CR-V e:HEV RS hybrid SUVs (CR-V Hybrid) from Nov. 25 to examine and replace defective high-pressure fuel pumps.

The affected vehicles were manufactured in Thailand between August 24, 2023, and September 11, 2024. Honda Vietnam imported and distributed those vehicles in Vietnam.

Honda Vietnam has urged car owners to bring their vehicles to authorised dealerships for inspection and repairs. The replacement process expected to take approximately 30 minutes per vehicle.

Although there have been no recorded cases of safety issues due to high-pressure fuel pump defects occurring in the Vietnamese market, Honda Vietnam recommends that for the benefit and safety of customers and passengers, customers should quickly bring their vehicles to Honda Automobile Distributors for inspection. The cost of inspection or replacement of affected parts will be paid by Honda Vietnam.

The Honda CR-V e:HEV RS is a popular hybrid SUV in Vietnam. It was first available in Vietnam on October 25, 2023 and sold at VND1.26 billion (US$49,557). In the first ten months of 2024, Honda Vietnam sold 1,359 CR-V Hybrid.
