Honda Jazz Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

Recall data from DVSA, updated 15 October 2026.

The Honda Jazz has 26 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 3 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve airbags and other airbag inflators. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.1

Honda Jazz recalls arrive very late, often nine years or more after the cars were built, so even a Jazz that has been clear before is worth checking again. Two kinds of recall matter most. The first is Takata airbags: the Jazz is part of Honda's large driver's and passenger airbag inflator recalls, such as R/2016/045 and R/2015/104, covering hundreds of thousands of Hondas across several models; see Takata airbag recalls. The second is fire: R/2013/076 covered 171,385 Jazz vehicle-records for a risk of fire from a power window switch, following an earlier fire-risk recall in 2010 (R/2010/007). The latest Jazz and Jazz Crosstar have had small recalls, including a front camera that might not start correctly (R/2022/221) and a rear seat belt webbing sensor (R/2020/194). Many Jazzes are now with older drivers or second owners, so checking on behalf of a relative is worthwhile. Any Honda dealer can confirm by VIN.

What You Might Notice

Many recall faults give no warning at all, so a registration check is the only reliable way to know.2 See car recall symptoms.
