Honda Siel Cars India on Sunday said it was recalling more than 2,000 units of its premium sedan Accord to replace a faulty relay fuel-pump, as part of a global campaign by its parent company in Japan.

The company has urged 2,310 Accord customers in India, who purchased their cars in 2005 and 2006, to bring the vehicles to its service centres for replacement of relay fuel-pump.

“We would like to inform our customers that the relay problem does not in any way compromise the safety of the passenger,” HSCI Director (Marketing) T Natsume said in a statement. The company said that replacement would be carried out free of cost. It is in the process of sending letters to the affected customers.

Dealers have been updated about the replacement. The new part has been dispatched to the dealers for speedy execution to avoid any inconvenience to customers, it added.

HSCI is carrying out the replacement as part of a global exercise by the Company to ensure stringent quality standards for its products. Honda is pro-actively replacing the part even in vehicles which experienced no problem at all, the statement said.
