For the HR-V and BR-V, the recall relates to the inspection of the bolt earth grounding tightness.

As a result the engine would stop while driving or be unable to start the engine after the car stops. The models affected are 343 units of HR-V 2020 Year Model and 116 units of BR-V 2021 Year Model.
Affected customers will be informed via notification letters. The letters will include details of the product recall. Customers should contact a Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment to have their vehicles checked and repaired if required, subject to parts availability.
