HÀ NỘI — Honda Vietnam (HVN) announced a recall campaign for 221 Gold Wing and CBR1000RR vehicles to check the faulty fuel pump to ensure optimal quality for the product on Thursday.

The recall involves 147 Gold Wing vehicles produced from October 2017 to March 2023 and 74 CBR1000RR vehicles produced from September 2017 to September 2020, all imported as complete units by Honda Vietnam from Japan for distribution at Honda large displacement vehicle stores (DreamWing).

HVN said that although it had not received any feedback or complaints from customers in the Vietnamese market about defective fuel pumps, for the benefit and safety of customers, HVN would invite the 221 owners of the above products to Honda authorised vehicle sales and service stores (HEAD) for inspection and handling.

According to HVN, due to changes in production methods, the fuel pump impeller may be deformed and stick, which would disable the fuel pump causing hard starting or stalling of the engine.

All products in this recall campaign will be inspected and replaced (if necessary) to ensure product quality, completely free of charge.

At the same time, HVN will support inspection and replacement of products of the same type that are not imported and distributed by this joint venture in the Vietnamese market.

HVN will begin replacing parts (if necessary) for products on the recall list around May 2024 because at present, parts are not available.

As for Gold Wing owners, customers can bring their vehicles to DreamWing and HEAD to check and confirm if parts replacement is necessary from March 26.
