FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain models, this pump may fail without warning while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump fails on the road, your engine will suddenly shut off — you'll lose power steering and power brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the chance of a collision.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump module with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and it's completely free.
