Honda recently issued a recall affecting 1.7 million vehicles due to improperly manufactured steering racks in models such as the Civic, CR-V, and Acura Integra. Just a week later, the company announced an additional recall involving 720,000 cars, this time addressing faulty high-pressure fuel pumps.
The automaker reported that over 700,000 vehicles sold in the U.S. from the 2023 to 2025 model years are equipped with these defective pumps. Models affected include the 2023-2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid, the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Hybrid, and the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid.
Honda revealed that the internal components of these fuel pumps could crack, potentially leading to fuel leaks and an increased risk of fire. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries related to the faulty pumps have been reported so far.
Honda has urged owners of affected vehicles to visit dealerships for a free inspection and replacement of the defective part. Customers impacted by the recall will receive notification letters starting in December.
This recall adds to a series of issues Honda has faced throughout 2024. In April, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into more than 3 million Honda Accords and CR-Vs following reports of unintended emergency braking, which resulted in 31 crashes and 58 injuries. That inquiry remains ongoing.
When combined with a separate recall involving 1.2 million vehicles earlier this year, the latest development underscores Honda’s struggles with product safety and quality control.
