Honda Jazz / Honda Fit recall – faulty electric window switch

The European Honda Jazz recall seems only to affect RHD cars, so it looks like it’s just the UK that needs a fix to the master window switch on the driver’s door on 171,00 models here. If the window gets left open for long periods – or if there are long periods of heavy rain – water can get in to the switch and cause it to malfunction and, at worst, catch fire.

The outrageous price tag is the biggest shock since we found out how genuinely brilliant the ZR1 is to drive.
