Which Hondas are recalled for fuel pumps?

The quick answer: Honda has issued fuel-pump recalls affecting several model lines, most notably the Civic, CR-V, Accord, Pilot, and Fit. The exact models and years vary by recall campaign and VIN, so checking your specific vehicle is essential.


Fuel-pump recalls occur when a supplier or design issue could cause the pump to fail, potentially leading to engine stalling or inability to start. Honda, like other automakers, issues campaign notices with instructions for owners to bring affected vehicles to a dealer for inspection and free repair. Below is a current overview and practical guidance to determine whether your car is affected.


What models have been recalled for fuel pumps?


The following Honda model lines have appeared in fuel-pump recall campaigns in recent years. This list is illustrative of affected families and is not a guarantee that every vehicle in these lines is recalled. Each campaign is VIN-specific and years can vary by recall.



  • Honda Civic

  • Honda CR-V

  • Honda Accord

  • Honda Pilot

  • Honda Fit (also sold as Honda Jazz in some markets)


Remember that recall eligibility depends on the exact campaign, model year, and your VIN. Always verify against official sources for your specific car.


How to verify if your Honda is affected


To determine whether your vehicle is part of a current fuel-pump recall, follow these steps:



  1. Locate your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). It is typically found on the driver's side dashboard, visible through the windshield, or on the driver’s door jamb.

  2. Visit official recall databases such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) SaferCar.gov recall search or Honda’s dedicated recall page.

  3. Enter your VIN to check for open recalls related to the fuel pump and review any required actions.

  4. If an active recall appears, contact your local Honda dealer to schedule the repair at no cost to you.


If you do not see an open recall but experience symptoms like engine stalling, failure to start, or unexpected shutdowns, contact your dealer or a certified mechanic. Recalls are VIN-specific, and symptom-based checks may reveal customer service actions or field service campaigns not yet listed as formal recalls.


What you should expect from a recall service


During a recall repair for a fuel pump, a dealer typically inspects the pump module and may replace the fuel-pump assembly or related components. The service is performed at no charge to the vehicle owner, and in most cases, it does not require extended downtime beyond standard service procedures.


Because recall lists change as new campaigns are issued, owners should routinely re-check their VIN against official databases, especially after moving to a new region or purchasing a used vehicle with an earlier recall history.


Summary


In short, several Honda model lines—most commonly the Civic, CR-V, Accord, Pilot, and Fit—have been affected by fuel-pump recalls in recent years. Exact eligibility depends on model year and VIN, so the reliable way to know is by checking your VIN against official recall databases or contacting a local Honda dealer. Staying informed through NHTSA and Honda’s recall portals ensures you receive any eligible repairs at no cost.
