NHTSA Campaign #: 23V858000
NHTSA Recall #: 23V-858
MFR Recall ID’s: KGC, KGD
CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: Honda Fuel Pump Motor Recall Expansion Stop Sale
Recall Status: Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available.

“American Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 2.6 million 2017-2020 Acura and Honda vehicles in the United States to replace their fuel pumps, for free. The fuel pump impeller was improperly molded, resulting in low density impellers. Over time, the low-density impeller can deform and interfere with the fuel pump body, rendering the fuel pump inoperative. If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Honda has not received any reports of crash or injury related to this issue.

Countermeasure replacement parts are not available in sufficient quantities for all recalled vehicles at the time of this announcement, and American Honda intends to notify vehicle owners in stages. Initial mailed notification of the recall to all owners will occur in early-Feb. 2024 with subsequent mailings to occur as parts become available. Owners of these models can also determine if their specific vehicles will require the recall repair by visiting www.recalls.acura.com, www.recalls.honda.com
or by calling (888) 234-2138”

Bummer!

Called Honda dealer. They said 'no parts available yet, media jumped the gun.'
Service advisor sounded annoyed. No doubt they are getting a ton of these calls.
Either there is a recall or there isn't. There is. Lack of parts to fix it doesn't change that fact.
I have not heard of one fuel pump failure. I have almost 50,000 on my '18 FK8. No issues. There are Hondas out there with easy higher mileage. Not seeing any posts from anyone who had a fuel pump fail. Appreciate Honda's caution.

Could be posted to the wrong forum. This doesn’t apply to any 11th generation Civics…

Is the 11th gen running a different pump?

Okay, thought it cut a pretty wide swath on that recall, but if they fixed it in the 11th gen, great.
