Honda Ireland recalls 3,000 vehicles over fire fears

HONDA Ireland is recalling 3,000 cars over an electric switch which could short circuit and cause a fire.

The move is part of a global recall by the car manufacturer that involves 646,000 cars and follows the death of a two-year-old child last month that was sleeping in a car in South Africa when it caught fire.

The recall concerns the older model of the Honda Jazz and concerns cars registered between 2002 and 2009.
