2018-20 Honda Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Jazz, City, Accord, NSX recall expanded: 54,300 vehicles now affected by fuel pump fault

Honda Australia has quietly expanded its recall of Civic (including Type R), CR-V, HR-V, City, Jazz, NSX and Accord vehicles, with 54,300 vehicles built from 2018 to 2021 now affected by a faulty fuel pump.

The recall notice was first issued in July 2020, covering 22,366 vehicles stamped either Model Year 2018 or 2019 – however this has quietly been extended to a total of 54,300 vehicles, branded as Model Years 2018 to 2021, and available for sale between 26 July 2018 and 12 March 2021.

Lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, the notice says: "Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell causing the fuel pump to become inoperative.

"If the fuel pump stops working, this could stop the engine from starting or stall the engine while driving. This may increase the risk of an accident and may result in serious injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users," it continues.

No incidents of the fault have been recorded locally, a Honda Australia spokesperson confirmed to Drive.

A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 54,300 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.

Honda Australia will contact affected owners by mail to advise them to take their vehicle to their preferred Honda Centre for a repair, free of charge.

Replacement parts are now available, with Honda Australia confirming over 40 per cent of affected vehicles have been already been repaired.
