Honda Motor has issued a recall of around 4.5 million vehicles globally due to potential fuel pump failure, Reuters reports.
The recall applies to the 2018-2020 model year Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Insight, Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Passport, as well as several Acura models, including the ILX, MDX, RDX, RLX, TLX, and NSX.
In the U.S., 2.54 million vehicles are included in the recall. In 2021, Honda recalled 628,000 vehicles in the U.S. for the same issue, and again in 2020, with that recall affecting 136,000 vehicles. Recalls in China and Japan were issued earlier this month for the same issue, as well.
Since 2018, the automaker has received 4,042 warranty claims related to the fuel pump issue but has not received any reports of injuries occurring as a result.
To resolve the problem, Honda dealers will replace the fuel pump module. The company said the replacement parts will provide improved density and clearance, and that owners of recalled vehicles will be alerted beginning in early February.
