21,956 units of the 3rd-gen City (2009) and 1680 units of the 2nd-gen Jazz (2009/2010) will need replacement of the lost motion springs and retainers within the engine which may bend or snap over time which results in irregular engine noise and could cause the engine to stall. As a countermeasure, Honda Malaysia will replace these parts at no charge to the affected customers.

It's safe to say that there are injuries or crashes related to this issue. Honda Malaysia is currently preparing the replacement parts, and will then commence the inspection and replacement effort.

Yoichiro Ueno, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Honda Malaysia says, “We sincerely apologize to our customers and deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this predicament. It is our priority to put our customers first. To address this issue, we will be writing to all the affected customers to send their vehicles to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification from us,”

Hi, has anyone bought or is using this brand of brakes?

Links is selling these brakes and they claimed that these are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for Trust.

The set that I was talking to Kee about also includes the 2-piece brake rotors.

The overall construction looks quite nice but I would like to hear your opinions and whether does anyone have any knowledge of how it compares to Brembos, Endless and AP Racing.

Thanks in advance,
Joe
