Three models of two car manufacturers were recalled in the 35th week of 2018 through the Rapex system. One recall was announced by Hyundai, Honda issued two. Fuel leakage and a fire risk may occur with Piaggio, Aprilia, and Gilera big scooters.
Hyundai Ioniq has been recalled this February due to possible refrigerant penetration into the EPCU control unit – we wrote here. Its this year´s second recall relates to the inner oil seal of the hydraulic clutch actuator (HCA) which could cause oil leak and the engine compartment could catch fire. The defect may occur in cars manufactured between 15 December 2015 and 20 September 2017, as well as in a related Kia Niro model that was recalled for the same reason three weeks ago.
Honda
The cabin wiring harness might not be correctly secured at the Honda HR-V from 2014-2018. This can lead to damage of the cabling and a short circuit, resulting in the engine stalling. Due to not properly secured the second row of the outboard seats, Honda Oddysey has been recalled twice this year – we wrote here. The new appearance in the Rapex list obviously only reminds us of this fact.
Motorcycles
This week brought more recalls for motorcycles than is usual in other weeks. Big Piaggio, Aprilia and Gilera scooters made from 2016 to 2017 may have a faulty fuel tank, which can lead to fuel leakage. There is a risk of fire even when the engine is off. At the Honda CRF 1000 manufactured between 2016 and 2018, the circlip of the main stand can easily break. As a consequence, the motorcycle may fall when placed on the main stand or the main stand could detach while the motorcycle is being ridden.
