Safety Recall: 2017 CR-V Rear Fuel Feed Pipe Leaks

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Year	Model	Trim	VIN Range
2017	CR-V	1.5 L and 2.4 L	Check the iN VIN status for eligibility.

BACKGROUND

Some fuel feed pipes were not manufactured to specification. The connector between the fuel feed pipe and the fuel line may come loose when the fuel line is pressurized. If the fuel line comes loose, it may result in leaking fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire. A loose fuel line may also cut off fuel to the engine and cause it to stall, which may increase the risk of a crash.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.

Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.

Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new or used vehicle inventory.

Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the fuel feed pipe using two new retainers.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE:

Flammable – Keep away from fire. If fuel ignites, it will cause a serious incident.
Relieve the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel line to avoid the risk of spraying pressurized fuel.
Disconnect the 12 volt battery negative terminal before disconnecting the electrical connector to reduce the risk of a fire caused by sparks.
Do not apply brake fluid, engine coolant, plant-based oil, or alcohol-based oil to the O-ring. Incorrect fluid or oil may cause the material to deteriorate or other damage.

Relieve the fuel pressure. Refer to the service information.
Do the battery disconnection procedure to disconnect the negative battery cable. Make sure to isolate it so it doesn’t unintentionally spark.
1.5 L Models only: Remove the intake air resonator.

Release the two brake line clips on the firewall.

Remove the heater hose bracket at the firewall.

Release the engine harness cable clamp by removing the nut.

Reconnect the battery.
Check for fuel leaks by turning the vehicle to ON, but do not start the engine. After the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds, the fuel line will be pressurized. Repeat this 2-3 times, then check that the connections are secure and that there are no leaks or rattles.
Reinstall the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
Permanently damage the original fuel feed pipe by bending or breaking it to ensure it cannot be reused.
