What is the reason behind the recent Honda recall?
The latest Honda recall involves two cars with two separate issues. For the City Hybrid, the problem concerns an inactive ADAS camera. The model comes equipped with a Honda Sensing suite of advanced driver assist features, one of which is a windscreen camera which in some modes is not functioning properly. Thus causing ADAS to be inactive while driving.

As for the Civic FE, the recall concerns incomplete welding at the slide adjuster of the driver’s seat. Honda will rectify the issue in the affected models as if left unchecked the seat may not remain in a fixed position which in turn can compromise the driver’s seat belt protection.
