Honda has issued a safety recall for 720,810 Accord, Civic, and CR-V Hybrid vehicles due to a potential fuel leak. The culprit behind this issue is a faulty high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP), specifically a defect in the solenoid core component. This manufacturing flaw can lead to cracks in the component, potentially causing fuel to leak.
The recall affects vehicles produced between 2021 and 2024. Although 145 warranty claims have been filed related to this issue, thankfully, no accidents or injuries have been reported. Honda will begin notifying affected owners by mail on December 4th.
Dealers will replace the defective HPFPs with units equipped with improved solenoid core components. These new components have undergone enhancements in their baking process, inner diameter machining, and dimensions to address the underlying issue.
