More than 90 industry representatives from Asia joined the simultaneous meetings of FAMI’s various committees such as the Technical, Research & Planning, and Management and its sub-committees. These meetings aimed to address common issues to support the sound development of Asia’s two-wheeler business with conscious and active role in ensuring safety on the road and the environment. The event concluded on the third day with a tour in Tagaytay to foster camaraderie among the participants.

One of the highlights of the event is the FAMI Declaration on Motorcycle Road Safety, wherein Presidents of member associations attested their support by signing an agreement stating that all

FAMI members’ activities will give priority on road safety in accordance to the following principles:

  • Promotion of the preservation and respect for life
  • Provision of road users’ education through training, seminars, dissemination of useful information and awareness campaigns
  • Development of road users’ proper behavior, attitude, skills and knowledge to mitigate risks
  • Strengthening members’ capability by exchange of information and best practices and sharing of resources

  • Improvement on product safety by technology development

On Wednesday, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc., (HCPI) announced that it is voluntarily recalling 1,760 units of select Honda Accord, City, Civic and Fit sold in the Philippines due to faulty inflation device of the front passenger airbag.

According to the official press release, the initiative by HCPI is part of the worldwide recall program after identifying the flaw on the airbag mechanism that was inadvertently installed on affected units during the assembly process.

Here’s the list of affected cars, with the Vehicle Identification Number, that will be recalled:

Despite of the issue, Honda PH claims that there were no reported cases involving the faulty airbag. The local arm also assured that “owners of Honda City, Jazz, Civic, Accord, CR-Z, CR-V, HR-V, Pilot and Odyssey models sold and distributed by Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. and which are not covered by this recall have no reason to worry since the airbags of these models were assembled during other periods.

HCPI stated that they’ve already reached out to the owners of affected units through Letter-Notices and by contacting them through phone. For owners of affected units listed above who has not received the recall notice from the firm, they are encouraged to contact their respective dealers either through phone (02-857-7240) or through email (customer_relations@hondaphil.com).
