2.6 million Hondas and Acuras recalled due to faulty fuel pumps

The massive recall includes many models ranging from the Honda Accord and CR-V to the Acura TLX and NSX.

Danger of running out of oil

Fuel may be the lifeblood of a combustion engine, but it’s the fuel that keeps it running, and with more than 2.5 million Hondas and Acuras, there’s a risk of running out of fuel.

Denso should be blamed

This problem is linked to a large group of faulty Denso fuel pumps that were installed on many Honda and Acura vehicles between the 2017 and 2020 model years.

Improperly disposed pump

The problem is based on an improperly disposed fuel pump impeller, its defective shape that can cause interference with the fuel pump body, resulting in a lack of fuel. NHTSA warns that running out of gas can mean the engine stalls while driving, causing an accident and/or injury.

Honda and Acura, for their part, say there have been no injuries or deaths from the faulty pump, but Honda has handled 4,042 warranty claims. This number, however, pales in comparison to the 2.6 million vehicles affected by this week’s recall for the same problem.
