No recall on new Myvi, says Perodua chief

There is no recall on the new Perodua Myvi or any of our other models, says Perodua President/Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.

In a statement Thursday, Aminar Rashid said the news reports were not true.

"There was a suspension in operations for one day at our plant on Aug 26, 2013, as we found some portions of the vehicle did not meet the standards we specified during our normal testing process.

"We have resumed our operations the next day after successfully rectifying the issue," he said.

Aminar Rashid said the reports saying that Perodua stopped production for three days for this reason were inaccurate.

Perodua also higlighted that the manufacturing plant was on a scheduled shutdown for the company's 20th Anniversary Gala Raya Celebrations over that weekend and was attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Gala Raya event was widely covered by the media and was attended by over 28,000 people.

"We do apologise to our customers if this suspension resulted in a slight delay in delivering the vehicle, but the action we take is to ensure that your experience with us is a pleasant one - because here at Perodua - You Matter Most.

"Perodua places great value on quality and even more so on safety in everything that we do," he said.
