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.
