Honda has voluntarily recalled about 720,000 vehicles in the United States, including Accords and Civics (produced from 2023 to 2025) due to a faulty high-pressure fuel pump.

These cracks can propagate while the vehicle is in operation, increasing the risk of fire, collision, or injury, as well as the potential for fuel leaks and odors while driving or idling. It's worth noting that as of the recall announcement, the company has not received any verified crash or injury complaints related to this issue.

If damage is found, dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel pump free of charge. Also read: Honda Elevate, Amaze and City receive 7-year unlimited kilometers extended warranty package…
