National Market Regulatory Administration announced on the 25th that GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda have decided to recall a total of 1,088,025 vehicles starting from March 31, 2021. The relevant details are as follows: Specifically including: Recalling some domestically produced Acura TLX-L, Acura CDX, and other series vehicles manufactured between January 2, 2019, and September 26, 2019, totaling 535,999 units; Recalling some domestically produced Greiz, Gienia, Jade, Civic, and other series vehicles manufactured between January 3, 2019, and November 9, 2019, totaling 552,026 units. Reason for recall: Some vehicles within the recall scope have insufficient resin density in the fuel pump impeller due to inadequate resin molding conditions during the manufacturing process.

My cousin's Civic was recalled last year due to this fuel pump issue. His car was purchased in June 2019. I specifically checked the recall notice for him, which involved models produced between April 2018 and September 2020. During that period, the Denso fuel pump impeller caps used in the cars had insufficient strength and could deform after prolonged exposure to gasoline, posing a serious risk of engine stalling at high speeds. Honda's recall was quite extensive, affecting not only the Civic but also the CR-V and Accord. I recommend checking the production date label in your maintenance manual or calling the dealership directly with your VIN for the most accurate information.

I've seen quite a few Civics towed in due to fuel pump failures during repairs, mainly concentrated in 2019-2020 models. To be precise, it's vehicles produced between April 2018 and September 2020 - you'll need to check the manufacturing date on the door frame nameplate. The impeller material used in this batch has issues, as gasoline vapor in hot weather can cause the blades to deform and seize. One owner experienced sudden loss of power while driving with the engine warning light illuminating. The problem was resolved after replacing it with an improved pump core featuring a metal support bracket. You'd better check your vehicle's production month immediately.

Attention to Civic models produced between 2018 and 2020, especially the severely affected 2019 models. The plastic impeller in the fuel pump may swell and deform after prolonged immersion in the fuel tank. Be alert if you experience weak acceleration or difficulty starting the car. When I encountered this issue, I simply entered the VIN into a mobile app and confirmed it was within the recall scope. The dealership replaced the pump in just 30 minutes, and crucially, it was completely free of charge. Vehicles around 4-5 years old should particularly get this checked.
