Honda Motor Company recently announced the recall of over 1.13 million vehicles in Japan due to issues with the fuel pump. It is reported that the recalled fuel pumps were manufactured by the automotive component maker Denso.
The reason behind the recall is the potential deformation of components within the fuel pump, which could lead to the engine suddenly stalling during operation.
The recall involves 25 Honda models, totaling 1,138,046 vehicles. The affected models include N-BOX, Fit (Jazz), and STEP WGN. Additionally, it includes 204 units of the NSX sports car exported to Japan from the U.S. These vehicles were produced between June 2017 and September 2020.
Although Honda has received 422 reports of fuel pump defects, there have been no reported safety incidents related to this issue.
Since March 2020, fuel pump defects produced by Denso have led to recalls by various automakers, including Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Suzuki, Mazda, and Daihatsu. Including Honda's latest recall, approximately 3.83 million vehicles have been affected. A senior executive from Denso issued an apology for the recall and stated that the company will address the matter seriously and take prompt action for the recall.
