Honda recalls older models over safety alert

A safety alert has been announced in Pakistan as Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan initiates a recall of several older models due to a possible issue with the SRS airbag system.

Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan has launched a recall campaign in Pakistan, bringing back several well-known older models due to a significant safety concern associated with the SRS airbag system.

This recall includes a broad array of vehicles, including the Honda Civic Oriel (2006–2012), Honda CR-V (2008–2011), and Honda Accord (2004–2012), impacting thousands of cars that remain on the roads of Pakistan.

The automotive giant has urged all owners of the affected vehicles to immediately visit their nearest authorised 2S or 3S Honda dealerships across the nation, where the faulty airbag components will be replaced entirely at no cost.

The alert was disseminated through Honda Atlas’s official social media platforms, where the company emphasised that customer safety is its utmost priority and encouraged drivers to reach out to authorised dealerships for inspections and additional support.

This recall highlights a critical safety measure aimed at preventing possible risks associated with airbag deployment in the affected models, and owners are strongly recommended to not postpone the repair process.

A major recall by Honda Atlas is drawing attention to the longstanding deficiencies in vehicle safety regulations in Pakistan.

While the company’s initiative to provide free repairs for older vehicles is being commended, it has also reignited discussions regarding the slow evolution of safety standards in the country.
