Honda recalls another 700,000 vehicles, this time for pumps that can crack and leak fuel

How car recalls get reported

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially start car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.

TORRANCE, Calif. - Honda is voluntarily recalling more than 700,000 vehicles in the U.S., due to a defective high-pressure fuel pump part that could crack and lead to possible fuel leaks.

The automaker said it will offer a free inspection and, if necessary, a replacement of the fuel pump for the 2023-2025 vehicles.

According to the company, these cracks can grow during vehicle operations, leading to possible fuel leaks, fuel smell while idling or driving, along with the risk of fire, crash, or injury.

The list of recalled U.S. models includes the 2023-2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid, the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Sedan Hybrid and the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Honda said that it has had 145 warranty claims, and no reports of injuries or deaths related to the issue from February 2023 through September 2024.

Honda said registered owners of all affected models will be contacted by mail in December and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for a free inspection. The dealer will replace the high-pressure fuel pump if it is found to be defective.

Owners of affected vehicles are asked to take them to an authorized dealer for repair as soon as they receive a notification.

Owners of these vehicles can also determine if their vehicles require repair by visiting www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.

Honda recalls 1.7M vehicles over steering gearbox concern

The recall comes on the heels of another major recall earlier this month at Honda, after 1.7 million vehicles were found to have potential steering issues in early October.

The recall by the automaker included various 2022 through 2025 model vehicles including certain Honda Civic and Civic Type R, CR-V, HR-V and Acura Integra and Integra Type S vehicles. Honda said it had received 10,328 warranty claims related to the issue since 2021. Honda’s recall also covered 240,000 vehicles in Canada and 58,000 in Mexico.

In March 2023, the NHTSA launched an investigation into the steering problem after it said it received 145 complaints about the problem, which happened mostly at highway speeds. The complaints came over the past 11 months and occurred mostly on vehicles with low mileage.
