Does a recall affect your Honda Jazz?

Not every Honda Jazz is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Honda Jazz recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2004 to 2026

2015 had the most, with 5. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Passenger airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Launched 23 February 2018 DVSA recall R/2018/029 Manufacturer ref. HUK6CC

Defect
The propellant used in certain air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture.

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Launched 16 March 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/043 Manufacturer ref. HUK5NN

Defect
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash.

2011 1 recall

Headlights may not illuminate correctly

Launched 24 January 2011 DVSA recall R/2010/228 Manufacturer ref. 5LS

Defect
Due to the layout of the lighting switch wiring harness the low beam headlight circuit can be pulled tighter than other wires. After repeated use of the headlight switch the low beam terminal can become worn and poor electrical continuity may result from an accumulation of copper oxide. In some cases the poor continuity the poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the wiring harness terminal ends to melt. Poor continuity or melted terminal ends will cause the low beam head lights to become inoperative increasing the risk of accident.
Remedy
The dealer will inspect the low beam terminal if the terminal shows signs of melting the lighting switch and low beam terminal harness will be replaced. If the terminal is not melted the low beam terminal harness will be replaced.
