The road transport department (JPJ) has issued a press release for recalls involving greater than 41,000 vehicles across five passenger automotive brands in Malaysia, comprised of Honda (previously announced by Honda Malaysia in November 2024), Kia, Ford, Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
The tally involves 41,688 vehicles to be exact, though this figure includes 291 units of MAN trucks for 4 variants of the 2021-2023 TGS prime mover, which is being recalled for a malfunctioning 24-volt socket inside the instrument panel.

Models from Honda involved in the most recent JPJ recall are the 2022-2024 Eleventh-generation Civic for the 1.5L E, V, RS and a pair of.0L e:HEV RS (26,802 units), the 2023-2024 Civic Type R (159 units), and the 2024 CR-V 1.5L E, V, S and a pair of.0L e:HEV RS (9,717 units).
This JPJ recall for the above Honda models are for abnormal sounds and roughness when turning the steering wheel, based on the department’s statement. Earlier, Honda Malaysia’s November 2024 statement elaborated on the matter, stating that the problem involves the EPS gearbox where its worm wheel may swell and reduce grease film thickness, causing abnormal steering noise or a sticky steering.

For Kia, the recall issued is for the XM-generation Sorento, for 2 separate issues and correspondingly, two model-year runs. The 2011-2015 Sorento (1,384 units) is being recalled for damaged engine connecting rod bearings, while the 2010-2014 Sorento (2,861 units) is recalled for a possible electrical short circuit which could cause a hearth on the hydraulic electronic control unit circuit board.

Ford has 288 units of the Everest involved in two recalls. Of the 288 units, the primary recall involves eight units of the 2022-2024 Everest 2.0L Titanium 4WD AT resulting from the e-shifter transmission selector draining the vehicle’s battery while driving.

This second recall is for driver or passenger side windows which can not robotically reverse (retract) when encountering an object; in other words, the anti-pinch function may not work.
