Honda Jazz 2006-2014 & Insight Takata airbag recall

[edam]

Checked mine and no recalls.
My VIN starts SHHGG which I assume is Swindon

[longlegpete]

Yeah,  think your right, my Ex's are both early and made in Japan,  Vin starts JHM,, The SHH is UK made

[monkeydave]

thats good to know, hopefully the uk ones are ok and just the ones imported from japan are the ones with the faulty airbags

Just put my 2009 EX vin number in on the Honda site and it says No updates or recalls.

The VIN starts JHM so is Japan built.

All Honda owners please note that all affected cars will be notified by post as soon as possible.

They are currently posting 10000 letters a week, if every affected owner was notified at the same time then the Honda dealership would not be able to cope.

so your saying every uk jazz between 2009 - 2014 has the faulty airbags and they are staggering the recall or just some of the uk jazz models between 2009-2014 ?

Our 2007 jazz was around 6 months between receiving the letter and fitment of the airbags so i won't be holding my breath,  on the Honda web site it say contact your dealer to arrange fitment but as has been said they can't do them all at once

All I am saying is that affected cars will have their owners notified, in due course.

There are several models affected covering several years.

Contact Honda if in doubt.

I received a letter back in August 2015 and nothing since, so I emailed Honda UK with my reg and VIN details and they replied to say that both airbags need changing and I will receive a letter in due course.

Received our letter from Honda in August 2015 also and then received another letter in January asking us to contact one of the nearest dealers for the recall work to be carried out.
Contacted our local dealer who confirmed that only the passenger side airbag was affected by the recall for our car which is a late (November registered) 2008 GE.
The airbag was replaced last week and took about an hour to complete.

Blimey. I just got "the letter". Looks like each Country may have its own database of affected vehicles, as mine was not included (by the skin of its teeth) in the one posted in the UK website you lads linked.
I'm cross about the wording, looks like it has been carefully drafted by a handful of skilled lawyers and it's clear that the danger is real or they wouldn't have explicitly stated that the recall campaign does not imply that Honda will take any responsibility beyond what the law mandates.

Had my airbag repair done on Tuesday.  Can't fault the service - they even washed and hoovered the Jazz!

which ones did you have done and did they damage the dash or a & c pillar plastic?

Currently no
It seems as though its predominantly just those produced in Japan and imported over
Which coincidentally seem to be ex grades
But the staggering bit is right
