SHAH ALAM: Proton Holdings Bhd will be spending over RM2mil as part of a service fix to replace burst cooler hoses in over 94,000 cars.

CEO Datuk Abdul Harith Abdullah said the recall initiative, which starts immediately, is expected to take six months to complete.

“The hoses are cheap, about RM17 each, but labour cost will be expensive. So we expect the cost to be over RM2mil,” he said at a media briefing today.

The initiative will see 94,577 units being recalled, comprising Exora, Preve and Suprima vehicles.

Separately, Proton also previewed the new Perdana, which the company expects to launch by the first quarter of this year.

Proton chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the car was already available for booking and will tentatively be priced between RM100,000 and RM150,000.
