Honda Motor Company is beginning to recall more than 1.13 million vehicles due to a possible faulty fuel pump manufactured by Denso Corp. that could cause unexpected engine failure, Kyodo News reported on December 9.
The announcement is the latest recall caused by a defective auto part manufactured by Denso, with the number of recalled vehicles reaching more than 3.82 million units across eight automakers since March 2020.
Honda is currently recalling 25 models, including the N-Box minicar, Fit subcompact car, and Step WGN minivan. According to the department, the recalled vehicles were produced between June 2017 and September 2020.
Japan’s Transport Ministry said there was a possibility that the impeller inside the pump could stretch and be unable to deliver fuel, which could lead to engine failure.
The Japanese automaker’s U.S. division also said it was recalling 204 NSX sports cars for the same reason.
In recent years, automakers have been standardizing vehicle parts across models and manufacturers, causing failure of certain parts to lead to mass recalls, a department official said.
