Honda is recalling 2.6 million vehicles because the fuel pump could fail.

According to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “the fuel pump impeller used for in 2017-2020 Acura and Honda vehicles was improperly molded.” This results in low-density impellers, which “can deform and interfere with the fuel pump body” over time, regulators said, leading to an inoperative fuel pump.

Models being recalled:

• 2018-2020 Honda Accord
• 2017-2020 Honda Accord Hybrid
• 2018-2020 Honda Civic 4D
• 2018-2020 Honda Civic 2D
• 2018-2020 Honda Civic 5D
• 2018-2020 Honda Civic Type R
• 2018-2019 Honda Clarity PHEV
• 2018-2020 Honda CR-V

• 2018-2020 Honda HR-V
• 2018-2020 Acura ILX
• 2019-2020 Honda Insight
• 2018-2020 Acura MDX
• 2018-2020 Acura MDX Hybrid
• 2017-2020 Acura NSX
• 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey

Vehicle owners will be asked to bring their vehicle to a Honda or Acura dealer to have the fuel pump replaced at no charge. Honda will begin notifying owners in early February. Not enough parts are available to fix all the vehicles involved at once, Honda said in a statement. Owners will be notified in separate waves over time to bring their vehicles in for repair as parts are available, Honda noted.
