===========================================================================
Honda ordered a recall of 720,810 vehicles that may have defective fuel pumps. Documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) state that the recall affects the 2023–2024 Accord and Accord Hybrid, the 2025 Civic and Civic Hybrid, and the 2023–2025 CR-V Hybrid.
According to the NHTSA documents, the problem stems from a production issue that may lead to cracks forming on the solenoid core component of the fuel pump, which could result in a fuel leak and potential fire. The production issue reportedly arose due to machined chips between the cutting tool and the fuel pump creating excessive torque and leading to cracking in the solenoid. The NHTSA documents also state the smell of fuel when driving or idling may warn drivers of the issue.
Honda will contact the owners of all affected vehicles and ask them to bring their vehicles to authorized dealers who will inspect and replace fuel pumps as necessary. The replacement parts feature solenoid components with improved dimensions, inner diameter machining, and baking conditions. Owners who paid out of pocket to have their vehicle's fuel pump replaced may be eligible for reimbursement, according to the NHTSA documents. Honda earlier this month began notifying dealerships of the recall, and it plans to reach out to affected owners starting on December 4.
Maybe their engineers should test this stuff before the install it.
CNC Milling machine feed rate too fast..............
Honda is little diff than any other car company. They do test but many times it’s token. They rely on subs to do the hard work which also rarely happens in a substantive way. This means the dealer and ultimately the techs eat the mistake. They never pay what the recall is worth, ever.
This recall seems on par with the airbag recall.
The one thing they all have in common is a predictable decrease in quality.
Well, one thing this defect won’t cause.....spontaneous combustion in the garage in the wee hours of the morning.
They should recall all of the CR-Vs (CRap Vehicles) because for some strange reason, every time there’s one in front of you on the road, the driver is going 10mph below the speed limit.
Does any one know why there is a solenoid component on a Honda fuel pump? What is its function? Does it not have an electric motor.
Auto shutdown in case of accident?......….
