My Mk4 has just had first service done and I was told the safety recall was for the camera not being able to read Kilometres in Europe.
I received a letter from Honda today regarding a safety recall relating to the front camera not starting up correctly.Got my letter today
Will book in at Honda dealer next week, hopefully when my new seat base is fitted, which has finally arrived.
Anyone else received the recall letter? Said it affects some Jazz in 21/22 model year.
Got my letter todayDitto. I note that the letter says "The repair will take approximately two and a half hours, but please make your vehicle available for longer."
Ditto. I note that the letter says "The repair will take approximately two and a half hours, but please make your vehicle available for longer."Me to, although as far as I’m concerned the camera is working perfectly.
How would I know there is a fault ?One symptom is probably RDMS keeping quiet on country lanes due to being unable to see where the vehicle is going.

Driving on the right (yes... RIGHT ;)) side of the road we covered only 10,000 km in a year.Yes it was a bit of a shock clocking up 10000km on the odometer, when back in the uk it was only 6200 miles ;) On my old Yaris when changing the digital speedometer from mph to kph the odometer stayed on miles.. Bit of a nuisance when map reading etc. I always keep a map in the car as a backup to satnav. Its almost guaranteed that the place I want is on the turn of a page.
I now understand why so little: our camera (according to Mr Snazzy Jazz's dealer) was not able to read kilometers and in fact we must have covered 10,000 miles (more than 16,000 km)...(https://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/konfus/c018.gif)
Yep, phoned the dealer and they said something about the camera not correctly recognising roadsigns in some Eastern European countries...so not really that Urgent unless you're planning on driving to Eastern EuropeNo, problems with the collision mitigation system for all Jazz, irrespectively from the hand drive.
That notice says up to 02/21.
I wonder when my MY22, not shipped into the UK till Aug 21 was first built ?
Must look up a VIN decoder .......
I ask because my wife, who hardly ever used to get RDMS 'prompts', now gets them much more frequently. Just passing parked cars on an urban road where you have to cross the centre dotted line now gives a 'prompt'.
Not only that situation. Cut a corner to smooth the drive and off it goes.Not sure how a system is expected to know whether you are deliberately straightening bends, or having a snooze. Unless you indicate.
Roundabout on a dual carriageway. You have nothing behind, you can see all exits, no other cars. You are going straight on. Do you stay in lane, which means slowing down more, or do you cut the roundabout corner to straighten your line and allow sooner acceleration ?

However, it is easy to avoid such a "prompt": Just indicate before crossing the line....
I don't know about you, but in my urban driving I would be indicating every few seconds as I weave in and out of the parked cars and the clear spaces in between. I'm sure following drivers would wonder why I kept flicking my indicator on and off all the time for no apparent reason.You are concerned about what following drivers think of you?! :P
I was hoping that when using ACC* the car would no longer get spooked by vehicles parked off the road on the left while driving through rght hand bends. No change there!
.... Also even on a slight bend a car (and motorcycle ) is more stable if you bear in mind the benefits of the 'slow in-fast out' technique. I'm not saying speed up as such ,just keep the car better poised by subtle throttle control . ACC will simply keep to its preset speed without reference to what gives optimum stability and control.While using ACC I tend to use the speed control on the wheel to adjust to road conditions. My foot is always ready to brake or accelerate. On a blind bend I'll dab the brake to take the car out of ACC and dab the accelerator to restore ACC when it's safe.

But much as I am in favour of these driver aids I would have thought you are having to learn a whole new set of speed control skills,with constant twiddling of knobs and adjustments There comes a point when its easier to switch ACC off and do it the 'old fashioned' way with throttle and brakes ? You dont even have the added 'complication' of having to be in the right gear. We may have a different opinion on when this becomes necessary.

Interestingly, it made me realise how smooth and comfortable my Crosstar is, it's a long time since I've driven a normal Auto ICE as I've had Toyota and Honda hybrids for 17years.I had occasion to drive my old 58 plate Mk2 Jazz the other weekend. I've spent over a year driving the Mk4 and was used to the automatic transmission, so my use of the manual transmission caused a bit of bunny hops to start with. But the thing that really hit me was how refined my Mk4 was in comparison.

Just had my Safety Recall done, originally told 2 - 4hrs, which was just acceptable , ( was going to shop, eat and drink coffee with wife ! )I was spoiled with my Yaris, the dealership was within walking distance. I will now need to travel to another town .My wife has already pointed out it has a nice Marks and Spencer's and we can do lunch. Shes never before shown any interest in coming along while I get the car serviced! :P
Sorry, my memory was playing up. A touch on the Res/+ button on the steering wheel does the job.

Dabbing the accelerator doesn't restore ACC... at least not for me. Is it supposed to?
SR Calibration Report
At last after 5 weeks off the road I have my SR back in working order. The calibration tool arrived at my dealers in a big box 3 metres long. It had to be assembled before it could be used.
When doing the calibration it needed over 25 yards of space in front of the car where nothing moved for the whole time of the calibration. (This is because of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning system). The dealer's car park had to be sealed off for the 5 (yes Five) hours it took to calibrate the car. After calibration was finished all error lights went out and everything worked OK.
It was suggested by the dealer that the car when built had not been calibrated properly but would now be reliable
I don't understand how such a dealer organizes his work.I was told that the car needs to be live while the update is carried out and that can block service operations. However, my first service and update was done in a day.
For the cars concerned, our dealer does the update during a service.
The update may take a bit more time than the service, but still: for the customer once driving, in the workshop two jobs at once.
my safety recall update has now been done. they wanted the car for 7.5 hours, but I was advised by the technician, it normally takes 2.5 hours, but they have known it take up to 4 hours. Mine came back without the infotainment functioning properly, took it back and they sorted it within 5 mins.Yes to the cleaning. They lent me* a Jazz for 24 hours.
anyone that had their car in for this already - did you get a complimentary wash / vac? ::)
Cheers Hub, interesting. I had the complimentary loan car too, but no wash / vac....apparently my dealer did this for services but not for safety recalls !! :oAh, mine had its first service during the same visit.
I've not had any recall yet but considering it can take all day they would need to keep it overnight due to my daytime availability and their distance from me.I'm a fair distance from my dealer. I needed to drop off my car and pick up the 'loan' car the evening before the day of the work.
Went for the service - all done at the same time - but they did have it a few hours longer - but that didnt matter - all done same time. Simples.I need to travel to a choice of three other towns, all too far to conveniently drop the car off , go home then return. I dont mind killing 3 hours or so in town for a normal service (one is a popular tourist destination) but much longer than this makes it a whole new ball game of inconvenience.
Why not an IT person with a laptop who comes to you at home/work ? Saves them having to use trained mechanics and taking up workshop space. Or having to provide courtesy cars, or picking up and dropping off.
There was no mileage recorded on my trip meter so all done on site.Why not an IT person with a laptop who comes to you at home/work ? Saves them having to use trained mechanics and taking up workshop space. Or having to provide courtesy cars, or picking up and dropping off.
I have a suspicion it's not just a software change but a recalibration that needs a dealer forecourt.
I had no letter for the recall but was notified of it when I booked my Jazz EX 2021 in for its first service. The garage had it all day and couldn’t get the cars computer to accept the recall software modification. They contacted Honda and now have told me they need the car for 3 days!
I didn't read all the posts, anyway it seems that the time of this "repair" is different between countries, in UK is 2.5 hours, here in Italy is 4 hours: it sounds like very strange :)I think the 2.5 hours is the minimum provided the dealer starts the job immediately and there are no mishaps. When I visited my dealer a couple of weeks ago I was told that sometimes the update fails so they have to start again. >:(
Has anyone with a MY22 been recalled yet ?My MY22 was due it's first service. While booking it in I mumbled something about the recall. The receptionist confirmed that the car would get the software update when it came in. So, no actual message to advise me about the work.
I've tried but it doesn't work for me.As part of the setup for wireless you have to connect with the cable.
I have the same AA version (8.1.626474-release) and an Android 11 smartphone.
But every time I try the pairing, the system ask me to connect the smartphone using the cable.
I have disconnected, erased every smartphone, deleted Honda HFT Bluetooth connection the re-installed everything but nothing changes.
Any suggestion or reason to understand why it doesn't work?
Thx in advance.
PS: I already update my Jazz with the Honda Sensing recall.
It's over a year ago now but I don't remember connecting mine with cable to connect wirelessly.The car prompted me to do that during the pairing process.

New AA update this morning, hope it still works like yesterday.
8.1.626484-release
I for one year used headunit with broken usb port and managed to activate AA wireless many times (headunit reseted to factory default by honda cervice center) and use AA wireles without usb cable connection by using standard procedure for cars that officialy have AA wireless support.It's over a year ago now but I don't remember connecting mine with cable to connect wirelessly.The car prompted me to do that during the pairing process.
