Just change your actuator fluid every 10,000kms there is a tutorial on youtube, we use dot4 brake fluid any decent branded one. Engine oil I prefer using 0w-20 fully synthetic.

Not sure about the coolant

I was studying Honda Vezel Recall issue and wanted to ask a question.

My plan is to buy a vezel 2016 +model so just curious if the vezel chassis number is in the recall list should I still buy it or not? Because according to the website below Chasis number

February 23, 2016-January 10, 2018

RU3-1200021～RU3-1275304 is all on the list. So does it mean that recall solved the issue?

Honda Vezel Recall Check

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated

[grotle998]

Sir basically all that means is these chassis numbers belong to the batch affected, and that at some point these cars had to go back to Honda for updating. Usually the later the car is imported into Pakistan the better it is, as it's more likely those updates were completed. To my knowledge, there wasn't really any serious recall after 2014 but I would definitely get the software updated for peace of mind. The only place I know myself that updates Vezels is fixmycar.pk their shop is in I-8 Islamabad. Hope that helps!

Oh also there is a recall checker for Japanese cars which used to work before but for some reason they seem to have updated it so whenever you put in the chassis number of a Vezel that's not in Japan it says that we do not have any information as the car is exported so your best bet is to update it yourself from Pakistan. Oh and also a very important thing to note is that any Vezel which has been software updated by Honda Japan itself, has green stickers inside the driver side door jam area (the area that is hidden when the door is shut) I'll try to attach a photo of my friend's 2014 Vezel which has had all the recalls done before 2019 with those stickers

Silver car is a Fit (GP5) and Gray one is the Vezel (RU3)

Jazakallah Khair and Many thanks brother for clearing my doubts. May Allah help you

[imhaseeb_khan200]

So basically you are suggesting to get the software update after buying Vezel just for the safe side?

Also If I have that green sticker on my car then I don't think I need to get any update because that is already been fixed by Honda Japan Correct?

[zarakdurrani606]

The car won't shift into drive and just stay limp. Also, any attempts to drive will result in a most worrisome case of the whole car jerking in place.

[zarakdurrani606]

The genuine Honda coolant. It's the Honda branded bottle available at dealerships.

[grotle998]

Yes if it has the stickers it means the software is updated. Basically every sticker represents one recall that has been completed on that car. If your car does not have those stickers then get it updated to the latest possible software to be on the safe side.

No Calibration is needed after transmission oil and actuator oil change if you change the oil with a syringe but if you take off the actuators then it will require a calibration.

[imhaseeb_khan200]

Can anybody guide me about recommended tire size for Vezel 2016 model Hybrid Z? WHich tire size should I select?

The original size is 215/55/17 but someone recommending 215/60/17 Or 225/50/17

which one is better?

[grotle998]

215/55/17 is the perfect size, my friend tried 225s and they dropped the fuel average by 2-3 km/l. 215s provide optimum stability aswell. and Vezels don't have a problem of low profile tyres so 55 profile is perfect. If you want to increase comfort then I'd recommend Michelins (I'm running Primacy 4 on my car).
