Honda has recently announced its third global recall due to a fuel pump fault. This recall is a result of potential issues with the fuel pump that could lead to engine stalling or failure to start. As a responsible automotive manufacturer, Honda is taking proactive measures to address this issue and ensure the safety and satisfaction of its customers. The company is working closely with dealerships to inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump at no cost to the customers. Honda remains committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety in its vehicles, and this recall is a testament to that commitment.
Honda has issued a third global recall notice for a fuel pump fault affecting more than a dozen models – but the Japanese car-maker’s Australian division is yet to confirm whether locally-delivered cars are included in the 4.5 million vehicles currently impacted.
Japanese car-maker Honda has announced the recall of more than 4.5 million vehicles globally which are affected by a fuel pump failure – the third such time for the same fault since 2020 – but it is not yet clear if Australian cars are impacted.
Details of the Recall
The recall affects 2018-2020 Model Year examples of the Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V and several other Honda nameplates not sold in Australia – as well as numerous vehicles from its North American luxury-car division, Acura.
Status in Australia
While the latest global recall is an expansion of two previous recalls issued both locally and overseas, Honda Australia has not yet responded to Drive’s request for comment as to whether any locally-delivered models are affected.
At present, there is also no recall notice on the Department of Infrastructure’s website.
Previous Recalls in Australia
The first Australian recall for the fuel pump failure was issued in July 2020, affecting 22,366 cars across the Accord (MY2018), City (MY2019), Civic (MY2018), CR-V (MY2018-2019), HR-V (MY2018), Jazz (MY2019), Civic Type R (MY2018), and NSX (MY2019) line-up.
Honda’s second Australian recall for the fault came in July 2021, covering 54,300 vehicles from the same model range and expanded to include the 2020 and 2021 Model Years.
Statement from Honda
In a statement to news agency Reuters, Honda said the replacement fuel pump and its associated parts are denser and have more clearance than those used in previous recalls.
Summary
while the full extent of the impact on Australian-delivered cars remains uncertain, Honda's proactive approach to addressing this recurring fuel pump fault underscores its dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its vehicles. Customers are encouraged to monitor official communications from Honda and regulatory bodies and to promptly engage with authorized service centers for any necessary actions related to this global recall.
