What parts are being replaced in the 2020 Honda Civic recall?
1 Answers
The recalled Honda Civics require replacement of an improved fuel pump to eliminate safety hazards. The affected vehicles have fuel pump impellers with insufficient resin density due to improper resin molding conditions during manufacturing. The impeller may swell and deform under fuel exposure, potentially interfering with the fuel pump housing. This can lead to poor fuel pump performance and, in extreme cases, engine stalling while driving, posing a safety risk. Here are the relevant details: 1. Exterior features: The trunk lid features a sporty spoiler and ducktail design, with blackened C-shaped taillights. The exaggerated front air dam below the bumper complements the center-mounted dual exhaust pipes. 2. Interior features: The hatchback design doesn't compromise rear passenger space, maintaining practical family car dimensions. Thoughtful details include a center headrest for rear passengers, and while there's a slight floor hump, it's minimally intrusive. The hatchback trunk offers generous space with more convenient access than sedan versions, featuring 4/6 split-folding rear seats for expanded cargo capacity. 3. Equipment highlights: Even the base CVT model comes well-equipped with automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry/start, automatic climate control, rearview camera, and a 7-inch infotainment display. 4. Powertrain specifications: The sedan version's L15B8 1.5T engine delivers 130kW (177hp) and 220N·m of torque, paired with either a CVT or 6-speed manual transmission.
