The issue, which affects some 2023-and-up Accord, Civic Sedan, and CR-V models, has to do with a high-pressure fuel pump
Honda is recalling almost three-quarters of a million newer cars and SUVs in the U.S. over a recall tied to a prospective fire risk, the automaker said mid-October. The defect has to do with a high-pressure fuel pump in some of these vehicles, and Honda notes that no accidents or injuries related to the issue have yet been reported.
On some of these vehicles, the fuel pump may have a defective core, and so cracks may form inside the fuel pump. “During vehicle operation, these cracks can grow, leading to possible fuel leaks,” warns Honda, noting this in turn could result in “fuel smell while idling or driving; and the risk of fire, crash, or injury.”
Honda dealers will inspect affected vehicles free of charge, and, if a defective fuel pump is found, the dealer will replace it.
