Fires, collisions prompt sixth major recall for Honda cars
Osaka
HONDA Motor Co will conduct at least the sixth round of major recalls involving its top-selling Fit compact in less than three years, as the Japanese carmaker struggles to move past the quality woes that contributed to a change in chief executive officers.
The company will recall 164,388 Fit cars after reports of six fires related to an engine control systems flaw, according to a Japan transport ministry statement. Two reports of collisions are prompting a separate recall of 118,715 Fit cars and Vezel crossovers over a power steering defect.
