Honda Jazz Handbrake could become inoperative. Recall

Reason for recall: It has been identified that the handbrake lever ratchet may not latch into position when the handbrake is applied due to the possibility of the internal push rod possibly having suffered damage during assembly. With continued usage the push rod joint can become worn causing the handbrake ratchet mechanism not to latch sufficiently. Should this occur the handbrake will become inoperative.

Recalled vehicles will have the handbrake mechanism replaced.

This issue affects JAZZ, this particular recall is for the Jazz.
