HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Honda Viet Nam on December 4 officially announced the recall of 12,118 SH scooters to fix a problem with the anti-theft system.

Of the recalled vehicles, 6,721 are SH125 scooters and 5,397 are SH150 scooters. All of them were manufactured between August 19 and October 6 this year.

The repair work will be conducted, free of charge, by agencies authorised by Honda nationwide. The programme will last until December 3, 2017.

Honda introduced its latest line of SH scooters featuring modern anti-theft system software (Honda SMART Key), which automatically sounds an alarm for 10 days if the SH scooter is stolen. However, due to an error in the software, the system only works for 10 minutes.

Earlier, the Vietnam Register (VR) requested the motorbike producer to recall these SH scooters to fix the problem, explaining that the error raised the risk of losing the bike.

The company proposed fixing the problem through customer service channels, but VR disagreed and requested a recall of all the affected SH scooters.—VNS
