What Happened
The fuel pump in your Acura or Honda is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2015-2018 models, tiny particles in the fuel might stick to the pump's internal parts, reducing its performance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump is clogged, your engine could stall on the road, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the engine control computer software and replace the fuel pump with a new one, if needed, all at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
