Honda has issued a major recall for over 700,000 vehicles due to the risk of fuel leaks caused by cracked high-pressure fuel pumps. The recall, announced by Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), affects several models, including the Honda Accord, Civic, and Hybrid versions, totaling 720,810 cars.
The problem stems from the faulty manufacturing of high-pressure fuel pumps, which may develop cracks that worsen over time. This defect can lead to fuel leaks, increasing the risk of fire, crashes, or injury. Some drivers have reported a noticeable gas odor while driving or idling their vehicles, which could be a sign of a potential issue.
This recall follows another recent action from Honda, in early October, which affected 1.7 million cars due to steering wheel problems.
If you own one of the affected vehicles, you can contact Honda or visit their website to check if your vehicle is part of the recall and arrange for repairs. Honda will likely offer free replacements for the faulty fuel pumps at authorised dealerships.
For additional details on the full list of affected models and instructions for getting repairs, it’s advisable to check Honda’s recall page or the NHTSA website.
