WATCH - Honda and Acura recall vehicles due to faulty fuel pump concerns – Dec 22, 2023

The recall is line in with Honda’s divisions worldwide; about 4.5 million vehicles are impacted, with 2.5 million being in the United States.

The fuel pump impeller in the recalled vehicles was improperly moulded, Honda Canada said, resulting in low-density impellers.

“Over time, the low-density impeller can deform and interfere with the fuel pump body, rendering the fuel pump inoperative,” Honda Canada said in its recall.

“If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Honda has not received any reports of crash or injury related to this issue.”

Honda Canada added the owners of the affected vehicles will be notified of the safety recall by mail in February.
