Honda is recalling 780,000 vehicles in North America due to concerns that the high-pressure fuel pump may crack and cause fuel to leak.
The carmaker told the United Nations Road Traffic Safety Administration that fuel leaks could increase the risk of fire if an ignition source is present.
The recall includes various Accord, CR-V Hybrid and Honda Civic vehicles from 2023 to 2025.
The recall applies to 720,000 vehicles in the United States and approximately 61,000 vehicles in Canada.
The dealer will inspect the high-pressure fuel pump and replace it with improved parts if necessary.
According to Honda, the core of the high-pressure fuel pump is defective, causing cracks to form inside the fuel pump.The cracks may expand while the vehicle is idling and may cause fuel leakage or fuel odor when the vehicle is idling or driving. .
Honda received 145 warranty claims, but there were no reports of injuries related to this issue.
Honda announced on Tuesday that it had confirmed the presence of fuel leaks and strange odors in September and had stopped shipping the affected vehicles.
