Description of the basis for the determination of the recall population:

The recall population was determined based on manufacturing records and supplier part production records. The manufacturing range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem.

 

Description of how the vehicles being recalled differ from similar vehicles not included in the recall:

Vehicles being recalled are equipped with fuel pump modules containing impellers produced during specific periods under specific circumstances (lower density impellers exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time). Similar vehicles not included in the recall are equipped with fuel pump modules that were not subject to the above conditions.

Total number of potentially affected vehicles: 628,124

 

573.6(c)(4)

Percentage of affected vehicles that contain the defect: 100%

 

573.6(c)(5)

Defect description:

Affected vehicles may be equipped with a fuel pump module manufactured with low density impellers. If the surface of a lower density impeller is exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time, higher levels of surface cracking may occur. These cracks may lead to excessive fuel absorption, resulting in impeller deformation. Over time, if an impeller deforms to a point that it creates sufficient interference with the fuel pump body, the fuel pump becomes inoperative, which may cause illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp in the instrument panel. Fuel pump inoperability could prevent an engine from starting or stall an engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

573.6(c)(6)

Chronology:

May 21, 2020

Honda determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety existed and decided to conduct a safety recall (NHTSA ID no. 20V-314).

 

September – October 2020

Since the primary contributor to impeller swelling was the development of surface cracks on low density impellers exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time, Honda conducted further analysis on impeller density to improve accuracy of the criteria used to determine part toughness. Honda found that the composition of non-resin material (glass fiber and calcium carbonate) in the impeller was highly variable, which led to high variance in impeller density measurements. To minimize variation, the non-resin material was removed with heat application, and the remaining resin material was measured to determine resin density. When applying resin density instead of the overall density to the criteria used to determine part toughness in failed returned field parts, resin density provided increased accuracy in predicting part failure. The updated criteria was then applied to all fuel pump manufacturing lots built during the suspect period to determine the likelihood of part failure.

 

March 19, 2021

Honda determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety existed and decided to conduct a safety recall to include additional vehicles.

 

As of March 19, 2021, Honda has received 583 warranty claims, 166 field reports, and no reports of injuries or crashes related to this issue.

 

573.6(c)(8)(i)

Program for remedying the defect:

Registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an Acura or Honda dealer. The dealer will replace the fuel pump assembly for free.  Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA.

 

573.6(c)(8)(ii)

The estimated date to start notification to dealers: March 26, 2021

The estimated date to start notifications to owners: May 18, 2021

 

573.6(c)(10)

Representative copies of all notices, bulletins and other communications:

A copy of the dealer service bulletin, the final customer notification letter and other dealer communication will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.

 

A draft of the owner notification letter will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.
