Ongoing Problem for Popular Honda Vehicles Results in Another Massive Recall

Earlier this year, I wrote about a safety recall that impacted me personally. Back in March, I received a notice from Honda that several of their popular model vehicles were implicated in a safety recall and that it was possible that my 2018 Civic could be one of the thousands of vehicles that needed repair.

The issue that caused the recall was a faulty impeller. The impeller is an important component of a vehicle's fuel pump. At the time, the notice from Honda also stated that the parts needed for repair were not available but that a follow-up notice would be issued in the Fall.

Now here we are in the Fall season and to this date I have received no follow-up from that initial recall.

That's all well and good at least for me because, I have had no issues regarding my car and how it functions, but this brings us to today where Honda has issued yet another recall for more of their highly popular vehicles and the same issue has reared its ugly head once again.

Recall Remedy

Like many recalls, Honda will be personally reaching out to all owners across America who own these specific vehicles. The statement states that vehicle owners can expect to receive that notification by December 2024.

When vehicle owners receive these notifications, they will be asked to contact Honda to set up an appointment with an authorized Honda dealer to have their vehicle inspected. If the high-pressure fuel pump is found to be defective, Honda will replace it.

As in many cases, the good news is that owners of these vehicles won't have to worry about bringing their wallets because the service will be free.

Honda concluded their statement with stating that they encourage vehicle owners to be proactive and attend to this issue as soon as possible. While Honda will be sending out notices, vehicle owners may also check online to see if their vehicle is affected by the recall by visiting Honda.com or calling (888) 234-2138.
