Honda Canada issues voluntary recall for nearly 300,000 vehicles

Almost 300,000 vehicles from Honda Canada are now under a voluntary recall.

The company is warning its customers that a wide range of its Acura and Honda-branded vehicles may be equipped with defective fuel pumps.

It says that the vehicles with the affected part may over time fail to start — or even stall while being operated, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

No incidents of crash or injury have been reported at this time.

According to officials at the car manufacturer, the issue is the result of an improperly molded fuel pump that over time can have its impellers deform and then interfere with the fuel pump body, disabling the pump entirely.

The car manufacturer says it will offer the repair service to any affected vehicle for free.
