In June 2020 the automaker recalled about 1.4 million vehicles worldwide for the same fuel pump issues.

The 2020 fuel pump recall was ordered after manufacturer DENSO recalled more than 2 million of the pumps which were installed in vehicles from multiple automakers. DENSO said impellers in the fuel pumps could absorb fuel and deform, allowing the impellers to hit and damage the pumps.

As of March 19, 2021, Honda has received 583 warranty claims and 166 field reports related to the fuel pumps. But no crash or injury reports have been received.

The U.S. Honda recall includes 628,124 vehicles and in Canada more than 80,000 Acura and Honda vehicles are recalled.

In recall documents filed with the government, Honda says owners may be eligible for reimbursement if money was spent for fuel pump repairs.

Acura and Honda owners should watch for fuel pump recall notices at the end of May 2021.

Acura and Honda dealerships will replace the fuel pumps, but concerned customers with questions should call 888-234-2138.
