EU alert · Safety Gate Serious risk Motor vehicles
Passenger car Honda “HR-V, CR-V, Civic” — risk: environment
Published in the Safety Gate weekly report: · Ref. A12/00115/20
Summary
During repeated acceleration/deceleration, the emissions control system in the diesel Engine Control Unit (ECU) is unable to prevent sulphur accumulation inside the catalyst due to lack of robustness of the engine control software. This reduces the purification performance of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Therefore, it does not satisfy the regulatory requirement for emissions level.
A Safety Gate alert means that national authorities found a serious or relevant risk and took measures. The same product may also be sold under other names or online.
