2015 model year Honda GK5 Jazz with CVT: drive shaft may break and cause loss of power
In September 2015, a recall was issued for 2015 ‘model year’ Honda GK5 Jazz vehicles that had continuously variable transmissions. In these vehicles, CVT programming which used high hydraulic pressure may subject the drive pulley shaft to high stress during operation. The high stresses combined with a shaft of lower hardness may cause the shaft to break during use. If this occurred, the vehicle may lose acceleration or the front wheels may lock up while driving, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. For the VINs of the recalled Honda Jazz vehicles, please see PRA 2015/14908.
2019-20 model year Honda GK5 Jazz: fuel pump could stop working and cause engine to stall
Recall campaign 6FE was issued in July 2020 and this recall was subsequently updated in June 2021 to include 2019-20 model year Honda GK5 Jazz vehicles. Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell and cause the fuel pump to become inoperative. If the fuel pump stopped working, the engine could stall while driving – this could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-000585.
