Honda is to contact 171,372 owners of the Jazz (2002-2008) year model in the UK, to arrange an examination of the master power window switch, as part of a safety recall.
The master window switch in the driver's door can malfunction when exposed to large amounts of liquid ingress, for example if the window is left open frequently or for long periods during heavy rain. Water and other fluids can cause the window switch's circuit board to malfunction and prevent opening or closing of the window. In rare cases, the circuit board can overheat causing melting or smoke or, potentially, fire.
There have been no reported cases of a switch malfunction causing fire to a Jazz in the UK.
Not all of the cars recalled will need a replacement switch. However, all recalled cars will be fitted with a waterproof skirt to prevent further water entry.
Honda (UK) will begin contacting those Jazz owners affected by the recall as soon as possible, in order to have the rectification work carried out. In all cases the work will be carried out at no cost to the customer.
Whilst this condition is rare Honda advises customers who have concerns to contact Honda (UK) Customer Relations on 0845 200 8002 for assistance.
