Toronto, Ontario — Honda has announced that it is voluntarily recalling approximately 61,000 vehicles in Canada due to a fuel pump defect that could cause fuel leaks and increased fire risk.
The automaker announced in a statement released last week that “due to a defective high-pressure fuel pump core, cracks may form inside the fuel pump. During vehicle operation, these cracks can lead to possible fuel leaks and fuel smell while idling or driving. A fuel leak in the presence of a spark increases the risk of a fire, along with the potential of a subsequent crash or injuries.”
Alongside the vehicles being recalled in Canada, another 700,000 are affected in the United States.
Affected vehicle models specifically include: the 2023 to 2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid; the 2023 to 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid; and the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Sedan Hybrid.
Registered owners of all affected models will be contacted by mail and will be asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for a free inspection. The dealer will inspect and replace the high-pressure pump if it is found to be defective.
This recall marks the second this month with Honda having previously recalled 240,000 vehicles in early October due to issues with these vehicles’ steering systems.
