Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. sa sunod magdumala og Recall Preventive Measure Campaign para sa 137 ka unit nga Honda Pilot nga gibaligya sa nasud.
Findings show that due to an improper hood to grill gap setting at the time of vehicle manufacturing, the hood latch may experience higher than expected load under certain driving conditions. Strong air pressure forced through this gap may cause the hood to vibrate which, over time, may cause the area surrounding the hood latch striker to crack and potentially dislodge, presenting a risk for the hood to open while driving and increasing the risk of a crash.
In the country, no crashes and injuries have been reported with regards to this issue but Honda will still proceed with the reinforcement or replacement of the panel comp hood. This is free of charge for vehicle owners, and will only take 30 minutes if only reinforcement is needed, or 2 days if a replacement is necessary.
HCPI seeks the cooperation of Honda Pilot owners to visit their website where they may log their vehicle frame numbers to check if their unit is included.
