Honda is recalling approximately 761,000 vehicles worldwide to replace defective fuel pumps. This campaign is not the first of Japanese manufacturers to address this issue.

It has 628,000 Honda and Acura vehicles sold in the United States, as well as 80,176 units in circulation in Canada. Honda is unaware of the accidents or injuries associated with this issue.

One year ago, Honda issued fuel pump recalls for 136,057 vehicles (10,456 in Canada) in the United States, some of which overlap with the current recall. In 2019, the two separate recalls have more than half a million models for other fuel pump issues, although it is unclear whether these two issues are related.

On his site, Transport Canada Describes the situation experienced by owners as follows: “On some vehicles, a low pressure fuel pump may fail. If this happens, the engine may not run or start unintentionally and the check engine light may come on. It is possible to suddenly lose engine power while driving. “

The company adds that “the manufacturer must notify the owners by mail and request that their vehicle be taken to a dealership to replace the fuel pump motor. “
