Quite frankly, if Honda hasnt alerted people directly, outfits like Carfax should not be permitted to disseminate such emails et al.

 

[williamsji]

I got the same email from CARFAX. Not sure how they got my vehicle information or email address. I'm thinking the dealer provided it since it shows over due oil changes. (not really over due).

I put my VIN in safecar.gov and didn't see any recalls.

2019 model LX in the U.S.

CARFAX likely knows about you through your dealer. Apparently some dealers are part of a partnership program with CARFAX. (I would love to see the contract terms for these partnerships, so I can figure out the motivators for dealers doing this).

The dealer I have my service work performed at does in fact have a partnership arrangement with CARFAX. So, every time one of my Hondas is in for service, a few days later I get an email from CARFAX telling me that I have new information available... via my free lifetime membership to CARFAX, courtesy of my dealer.

The dealer only pushes service data, and your email address, nothing else. Personally, I am fine with it, but I don't generally use CARFAX since I don't buy used vehicles. Thing is I did not check carefully, since I am not bothered by it, but it was not obvious to me in the emails I received that I as an owner can opt out of this program with my dealer. Given CARFAX works with "public data" and it's purpose is to uncover possible historical issues with a used vehicle for sale, it makes sense I cannot opt out of my dealer giving CARFAX service data.

Note it states official letters will go out to owners in late May (and that is likely when it will show recalls at owners.honda.com as well.

Looks like I got lucky and dodged this recall on both my 2017 CRV and 2018 Accord. The Accord though does have an active recall for a software update to prevent some random interoperability issues between systems.

When I mentioned this 8 months ago in post #4, CR-Vs were not included, yet. My 2019 RDX was listed, but the VIN range did not include my particular RDX.

Now, 2020 RDXs are included, as well as CR-Vs... and I suspect that my VIN will also be included. Some RDX owners who have had their fuel pumps replaced through this recall have reported better acceleration, if this is even possible, I don't know.
-----------------------------------------
Here is part of Acura's notice to dealers:

Safety Recall: Multi-Model Fuel Pump Motor

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Year......Model........... VIN Range
2019.....ILX...............Check VIN status for eligibility.
2019-20 MDX 2WD Check VIN status for eligibility.
2019-20 MDX SH-AWD Check VIN status for eligibility.
2019-20 RDX..............Check VIN status for eligibility.
2019-20 TLX 2WD.......Check VIN status for eligibility
2019-20 TLX SH-AWD Check VIN status for eligibility

Due to swelling of the fuel pump motor impeller, the fuel pump may seize and stop working. If this occurs, the check engine light may be displayed with DTC P0087 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low) stored, the engine may not start, or the engine could stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

This bulletin will be updated once Parts Information, Warranty Claim Information, Inspection Procedures, and Repair Procedures are available.

March 30, 2021 — A Honda fuel pump recall has been issued for more than 708,000 vehicles because the impellers in the pumps may be defective.
The Acura and Honda fuel pumps may cause stalled engines or leave drivers with vehicles that refuse to start.
Honda Fuel Pump Recall

• 2019-2020 Honda Accord
• 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid
• 2019 Honda Civic Coupe and Si Coupe

Honda says it doesn't know of any crashes or injuries caused by the defective fuel pumps, but in June 2020 the automaker recalled about 1.4 million vehicles worldwide for the same fuel pump issues.
The 2020 fuel pump recall was ordered after manufacturer DENSO recalled more than 2 million of the pumps which were installed in vehicles from multiple automakers. DENSO said impellers in the fuel pumps could absorb fuel and deform, allowing the impellers to hit and damage the pumps.
The U.S. Honda recall includes 628,124 vehicles and in Canada more than 80,000 Acura and Honda vehicles are recalled.
Acura and Honda owners should watch for fuel pump recall notices at the end of May 2021.
Acura and Honda dealerships will replace the fuel pumps, but concerned customers with questions should call 888-234-2138.

Sorry, just noticed this was already posted....just trying to help. Moderator, please remove if you wish.

No need to remove, I've merged it with the existing thread

Interesting how the 20 and 21 CRV My was not listed.

Thank you very much, I will try to search better next time!

Ok folks, this is the scoop.

There is a new recall that is coming down the pike involving the fuel pump impeller swelling inside the housing.

Its way to early and massively irresponsible of the carfax/cars.com people to scare people with notifications before Honda has even fully established the plan of action

 

[dntboles]

Honda released the service bulletin above and notified dealers on 26 Mar 21. Honda should have a plan.

Carfax didn't scare me with their notification, which came out 28 Mar. They let me know my vehicle is being recalled.

Here's a little more background info: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RMISC-21V215-0923.pdf

The Honda recall site seems to be down. "504 Gateway Time-out"

Today, the NHTSA site is reporting my CR-V is affected. (Yesterday it wasn't updated yet)

 

[airgas1998]

interesting my vin says no recalls on the nhtsa site...perhaps it's mfg date dependent, but I'd think all (my19's) would be hit...perhaps not though..

Honda has already stated that formal letters for the recall will go out to affected owners in May. This is fairly normal to see a one or two month delay between Honda announcing a planned recall, and actually formally notifying owners in writing to contact their dealer for an appointment for the recall.

Clearly... parts are going to be an issue, given the number of vehicles affected... so again... Honda followed it's established process for initiating a recall effort campaign.

What I would not do is start hammering your local dealer before you have your actual letter from Honda. Dealers just got informed, and they need to plan and insure they have all the logistics in place before they touch the first Honda in their shop.

1) Service techs certified by Honda for the recall procedure
2) Query their records database for owners and vehicles that they routinely service to get a first approximation of how many of these a dealer needs to plan for. They also have to estimate how many "walk ins" they will likely get as well.. given that any Honda owner can go to any dealer.. so they will get customers that do not normally use that dealers service department.
3) Parts, parts, parts. Honda has to divert parts supplies into the recall campaign, and this can take weeks, or months sometimes depending on the parts required.

Then...

4) start taking appointments and queuing customers into the shop for the recall service.. in an organized and process driven approach.

 

[airgas1998]

all the pumps were on the ever given...delayed estimate to be 2 weeks.....

 

[astern]

Interesting.

According to the NHTSA letter from Honda, only 20 2018 CRV's are affected, the rest are all model year 2019.

Honda will recall around 761,000 vehicles worldwide to replace fuel pumps that could fail and lead to stalling engines. This recall, which is described in the National Highway Safety Administration campaign number 21V215000, isn't the Japanese automaker's first recall for bad fuel pumps. It includes 628,000 vehicles sold in the United States. Honda isn't aware of any crashes or injuries related to the issue.
This most recent recall includes models from both Acura and Honda, some from 2019 only and others stretching into the 2020 model year. From Acura, some ILX, MDX, MDX Sport Hybrid, RDX and TLX models are included. From Honda, the recall covers certain Accord (including the Hybrid), Civic (Coupe, Sedan and Hatchback and including the Si and Type R), Fit, HR-V, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline. Finally, some Honda CR-V models from 2018 and 2019 are also included.

 

[r01k]

I got an email from the NHTSA yesterday alerting of my 2018 CRV possibly being included in this recall. However, Honda shows no recalls for my VIN.

 

[dntboles]

Mine is now on the Honda recall site, which is back up and running. The third party source (Carfax) shared the new info (although incomplete) first, then NHTSA then the Honda website.

I didn't realize it bothered so many people when folks post on here, trying to help others or find info. I guess we could all just wait for Honda to tell us everything through their official channels, but then there wouldn't be any need for a site like this.

 

[TheDarkKnight]

Suppose the only saving grace is that it doesnt apply to every single vehicle built.
