What Happened
The fuel pump in your Acura or Honda is the part that delivers gasoline to your engine. In some 2015-2019 models, tiny particles in the fuel can stick to the pump's internal parts and reduce its performance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump's performance is reduced, your engine could stall while driving, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the engine's computer software and replace the fuel pump, if needed, at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
