Honda to recall 3,879 City CVT sedans to update control software

Honda Cars India has announced a recall of 3,879 units of CVT variants of Honda City manufactured from February 2014 to November 2014 to update the software that manages the continuously variable transmission (CVT) as part of Honda’s recall campaign in several regions globally.  The CVT control software will be updated to optimise the hydraulic pressure applied to the CVT.

A company statement says that the software will be updated free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India from October 24 and the company will communicate with customers directly. Customers can also check whether their car is covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the microsite which has been created on the company’s website (www.hondacarindia.com).
