global recall

Honda is voluntarily recalling nearly 720,000 vehicles in the United States, including Accords and Civics (produced from 2023 to 2025) due to a faulty high-pressure fuel pump. According to the manufacturer, a defective high-pressure fuel pump core can cause internal cracks in the fuel pump. In addition to increasing the potential for fuel leaks and odors while driving or idling, these cracks have the potential to spread while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of fire, collision, or injury. As of the recall announcement, the company has not received any confirmed crash or injury complaints.
