The National Consumer Commission (NCC) hereby provides an update on the recalls of the INEOS Grenadier and three (3) Honda Civic vehicles as notified by the suppliers.
INEOS Automotive South Africa Recalls
The affected INEOS Grenadier is the M1 Passenger Station Wagon as well as their N1 Light Commercial vehicle double cab pick-up. These products were made available for sale from 1 June 2023 onwards.
INEOS Automotive South Africa informed the NCC that some consumers have reported door buttons remaining in the depressed position when a door is opened from the outside. This according to the supplier could cause the door not to fully close and latch as designed.
These vehicles were made available nationally at SMH Group Johannesburg and SMG INEOS Grenadier in KZN and Cape Town. They were also exported to Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Nigeria and Senegal.
Consumers with affected vehicles are urged to take their vehicles to their nearest or preferred dealerships or authorised repairers to arrange an appointment to have the vehicles inspected and have all door button mechanisms replaced.
HONDA MOTOR SOUTHERN AFRICA
Honda Motor Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd notified the NCC that they were recalling the CIVIC 4 door, CIVIC TYPE R 5 door, and CR-V5 door. The recall follows the EPS Gear Box Worm Wheel Swelling Failure. According to the supplier, the steering gearbox could result in abnormal noise or dangerous sticking when turning the steering.
These vehicles were made available for sale from 2022 to 2025. Consumers are urged to take the affected vehicles to the suppliers to replace affected parts.
