Honda Malaysia Recalls 87,490 cars – fuel pumps may fail.
Honda Malaysia has announced a product recall affecting 87,490 vehicles nationwide to replace fuel pumps as a precautionary measure. This move underscores the company’s commitment to customer safety and proactive maintenance. This will be the largest Honda recall in Malaysia since the Takata airbag recall, and certainly a larger recall than the one that was issued in 2022.
The recall covers two fuel pump-related issues:
1. Fuel Pump Impeller Swelling
Prolonged immersion in fuel may cause the impeller to swell, potentially leading to starting issues or engine stalling while driving. This issue affects 84,073 units across the following models and years:
- Jazz (2015-2020), Jazz Hybrid (2018)
- City (2014-2019), City Hybrid (2018-2019)
- Civic (2017-2018)
- Accord (2013-2017)
- BR-V (2017-2018)
- HR-V (2015-2018)
- CR-V (2018-2020)
- Odyssey (2017-2019)
2. High-Pressure Fuel Pump Cracking
Excessive stress and prolonged use may cause cracks in the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially resulting in fuel leaks or noticeable fuel odours. This issue affects 3,417 units of:
- Civic (2023-2024)
- CR-V (2024)
Customer Safety is Top Priority
Honda Malaysia stresses that all current production and selling models remain unaffected by this recall. The company is also extending the recall coverage to vehicles even if their warranty period has expired.
No accidents or injuries related to these issues have been reported in Malaysia to date. Honda Malaysia sincerely apologises for any inconvenience and assures customers that all replacements are free of charge, with related costs fully borne by the company.
