Honda-Egypt is recalling 19k cars to replace faulty airbags, Al Mal reported. Sherif Mahmoud, head of Honda’s Egyptian retailer Nile Trading Engineering Company (NTEC), told Al Mal the company has already managed to recall 5,500 cars in partnership with the Consumer Protection Agency, to replace their airbags. Mahmoud says the company is keen on completing the recall and replacement process as quickly as possible to preserve its “status in the Egyptian market.” According to Al Mal, the models recalled are the 2004-2009 Accord, 2002-2010 and 2008-2013 City, 2002-2009 GR-V, 2002-2005 Jazz, and 2002 Stream. 2016 Honda Civics are not part of the recall.
