Covering the economic and industrial might of Japan

Honda is recalling 45,000 Civic Hybrids manufactured between Sep. 05 and Sep. 06, 38,000 of which were produced overseas, primarily the U.S.

There is a defect that MIGHT cause a short circuit stopping the engine and preventing it from starting again. MIGHT.

NO DEFECTS have been reported. Honda is doing this preemptively.

How is that for service?

Me thinks the American way is that if no one complains, everything is alright.

No so...in Japan.

Honda is also recalling 72,000 Elysion minivans sold only in Japan to correct a possible defective sliding door lock.

Japan knows customer service.

What do you think?
