Morning! not wanting to cause any click bait. Past Monday I got 2 recall letters for my 2023 FL5 - High pressure fuel pump and sticky steering.

I found this video on the latter - - but not much information on the former, which scares me due to fire risks. I called the dealer immediately and got parts ordered. Just wanted to ask your experience on the repair and after repair experience, I assume there are no risks, am I right? Thanks for chiming in!

I had not heard about the fuel pump recall. I don't think you need to worry about fire risk too much. It should be safe to drive the car normally until your dealer gets the repair parts.

Fuel pumps were a thing for all FK8's. Since they share the same engine it makes sense the FL5 might be affected as well.

FK8 sources the fuel pump from Great Britain. The FL5 doesn’t

Thanks for the comments. The letter on the steering rack states for the FL5 model the steering box assembly will be replaced and the one on the pump just talks about inspection and replacement upon judgement from the technician. I will post back once I get the repairs done.

We have the steering recall in South Africa for about two months if I "recall" :). In the US it's been out longer.

I was also apprehensive at first. But so far car's been running great. Steering ticking sound is gone and it actually feels even better to drive. I could be confusing it with the service which I had done while the car was in for the recall. Overall, pleased that it's sorted. That ticking sound was annoying.

I got the recall soon after I purchased the car (July 2024) for the steering. Nothing about any fuel pump. I doublechecked, too.

As for the steering worm-gear, I took the car in early January. I had noticed no performance issies or noises, and the car didn't feel any different after the inspection, which, according to the mechanic, revealed no problems. He said they relubricated the areas in question, put the assembly back together, and voilĂ , it was all done in under two hours. Honda's notification alerted to be ready for a full day of work. So, I'm glad it wasn't that complicated--sort of. I just hope no one swept anything under the rug!

Anyway, no issues since... fingers crossed...
