Petaling Jaya, 17 March 2010 – Honda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. clarifies that the recent recall related to possible defective vehicle stability assist (VSA) in Odyssey and Element 2007 YM and 2008 YM, does not concern units sold in Malaysia.

The recall was issued due to the lack of VSA modulator air tightness in the affected models. Possible reaction that could arise from this condition involves air suction into the modulator circuit, where air would gradually remain in the brake circuit. In more severe condition, the brake pedal free play would increase gradually, and braking distance would become longer.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian automotive industry is expected to see a healthy growth in 2010, along with the positive growth in gross domestic product (GDP) estimated at 5% to 6% this year, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

In his keynote speech, Najib said GDP growth of 4.5% recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009 reflected the successful implementation of the government's stimulus packages.
