Honda has issued its second large recall this month, this time for over 700,000 cars that could have a fuel leak because the pump is cracked. Honda announced this recall last week, working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It affects some types of the Honda Accord, Civic, and Hybrid versions of those cars. It’s possible that 720,810 cars will be affected.
The notice of recall makes it clear that some high-pressure fuel pumps were made incorrectly, which is why they have cracks. The NHTSA warns that these cracks can get worse as the pump works, which could cause fuel to leak and raise the risk of injury.
This change comes after Honda recalled 1.7 million cars earlier in October because of problems with the steering wheels.

Honda Fuel Pump Recall Alert
Potential Fuel Leak in Honda Vehicles
Due to a possible safety risk, Honda has recalled some cars that have a high-pressure fuel pump. According to information sent to the NHTSA, these tanks may crack, which could cause a fuel leak.
Root Cause of the Issue
Honda says that the issue is caused by the wrong way that these high-pressure fuel pumps were made. A crack can form in the core part over time, which can lead to a leak. A fuel leak like this, especially one that is close to something that could start a fire, makes the risk of fire, accidents, and injuries much higher.
Some drivers have said they smelled a strong gas smell when their cars were moving or just sitting there.
Affected Honda Models
The recall affects several models, including:
- 2023-2024 Honda Accord
- 2023-2024 Honda Accord Hybrid
- 2025 Honda Civic
- 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid
- 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid
Steps to Take If Your Car Is Recalled
If your car is included in this recall, Honda dealers will check it out and, if necessary, fix the high-pressure fuel pump at no extra charge to you. By December 4, 2024, you should get a letter from the owner letting you know. Owners can call Honda’s customer service line at 1-888-234-2138 for more help.
