Honda recalls more than 52,000 cars in Australia
In Australia, Honda has recalled more than 52,000 Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Jazz, City, Civic Type R, NSX, Odyssey, and Accord models due to a potential fuel pump problem. Honda has now issued three recall notices in Australia regarding the fuel pump problem, which has affected more than 4.5 million cars globally.Over a four-year period, from 2017 to 2020, the Japanese automaker used a "improper manufacturing process" that could result in engine failure.In Australia, the federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts (DITRDCA) declared:
Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell causing the fuel pump to become inoperative.
If the fuel pump stops working, this could stop the engine from starting or stall the engine while driving. This may increase the risk of an accident and may result in serious injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
