Electrical Problems

My Google translate says:

Notification date: December 8, 2020 and that the dates for the e are July 27, 2019～January 24, 2014 which don't make sense.

Have checked with the wife (Japanese) and she says the notification date is 08/12/2023 and that the date range for the e is 27/02/2020 - 24/01/2022.

Still quite a while for the recall not to have made it to Europe - doesn't exactly fill you with hope that it ever will.

@MattHero - does your car fall within those dates?

Ahh yes, I was trusting Google Translate, so thank you for the corrections. My car was an August 2020 car *here*, so would fit into those manufacturing dates for sure. I guess my interest in the date is that if a recall was issued *when my car was still in warranty* I should get it repaired on that basis? But if it's 8th December 2023, I'd still be out of warranty at that point.

I guess that should also mean that models later than 24/01/2022 shouldn't be affected.

It still doesn't sound fair to me that Honda are admitting that there was a fault in Japan but not in Europe. I would assume that a recall would be irrespective of warranty date (although I have zero experience of recalls TBF).

I agree with your reading of this, let's hope so for those owners that the manufacturing issue mentioned of oil contamination corroding sensors in the part was resolved by their supplier.

On how a recall works if issued retrospectively? No clue, but I would imagine that those who have already undergone the replacement at their cost would certainly have a right to seek redress from Honda morally, but legally?

It would be great if someone could get clarification regarding the issue and confirmation that it doesn't affect e's from 2022 onwards (if that's what it means).

Think its 27 juli 2019 till 24 jan 2020
Serienumbers 1000038 till 1001298 ?
1260 productioncars?

No 1,238 vehicles.

Could I be lucky because my car registered on 17/08/2020 does not match the VIN range, to me it seems as though this recall is just the JDM vehicles.

Also is this a recall or a technical bulletin, this has significant ramifications in the UK if it's a recall.

Why is no one here using their Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK) because this is clearly an issue that should not occur on cars of this age?

Well that's interesting. My car was first registered on 3 June 2020, and the VIN ends in -LX200110. Still had the issue though. So even if Honda do a recall in Europe (not counting on it), it seems I haven't got a leg to stand on.

Yeah, mine ends LX201104 from a few months later. I'm not sure here if the VINs are supposed to match up as was suggested, these could just be the JDM vehicles?

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not sure practically how it can be done in parallel with trying to get the car repaired and back on the road. I agree this part should not have failed and now we have a hint as to why from the Japan tech bulletin/recall, and Honda should be stumping up for the repairs for out of warranty cars, but I'm not sure what practical leverage we have.
