Shanghai: Japanese carmaker Honda will recall almost 570,000 vehicles in China from February due to potentially defective airbags, China’s quality watchdog said. Honda’s two Chinese joint ventures have filed their plans with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine to recall 553,264 cars from February 28, the government body said in a statement Tuesday. The recall involves 527,136 Accord sedans made by GAC-Honda, a joint venture with China’s Guangzhou Automobile Group, from May 2002 to December 2007, according to the statement. Another 26,128 multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) that Dongfeng-Honda, a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Group, made under the Elysion brand between June 2012 and June 2014, will also be affected, it added.
