Honda Jazz / Honda Fit recall – faulty electric window switch

Honda is recalling the Jazz/Fit to replace faulty electric window switches It’s not exactly on the scale of the Toyota recall for a sticking throttle, but nevertheless the announcement by Honda that they are recalling almost 650,000 (MY 2002-2008) Honda Fits (that’s the Honda Jazz in the UK) around the world is another blow to a Japanese car maker just as the worst of the auto industry woes of the last year or two seem to be easing. The European Honda Jazz recall seems only to affect RHD cars, so it looks like it’s just the UK that needs a fix to the master window switch on the driver’s door on 171,00 models here. If the window gets left open for long periods – or if there are long periods of heavy rain – water can get in to the switch and cause it to malfunction and, at worst, catch fire.

Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe: Track Pack & Aerodynamic Pack

Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe Track & Aerodynamic Pack - lots of photos Mercedes-Benz revealed their latest Black Series car – the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series Coupe – back in the Summer, complete with a rather frisky 6.2 litre V8 and a 0-60mph of just 4.0 seconds. We then saw on the floor at the Frankfurt Motor Show a C63 Black Series with the addition of a couple of Mercedes add-on packs – the Track Pack and Aerodynamic Pack – which introduced an even harder edge to Mercedes’ most bonkers C-Class. The Track Pack and Aerodynamic Pack are separate option for the C63 Black, but if you’re going to dig in your pocket for the C63 Black in the first place, why not go the whole hog?
