Know Why Honda is again recalling 2.54 million US vehicles

Honda previously recalled 628,000 U.S. vehicles in 2021 and 136,000 in 2020 for the same issue. Honda dealers will replace the fuel pump module.

Honda is recalling various models including 2018-2020 model year Honda Accord, CR-V, CIVIC, Insight, Ridgeline, Odyssey, Passport and various Acura models including ILZ, MDX, RDX, RLX, TLX and NSX vehicles.

Globally, about 4.5 million Honda and Acura vehicles could be recalled, a spokesperson said.

Moreover Honda must recall 106,030 CR-Vs produced between 2019 and 2022 over an issue with the design of their 12-volt battery cables. The cables are susceptible to short-circuiting, and could cause a fire.

The issue affects model year 2020-2022 CR-V Hybrids, whose 12-volt battery cables are routed outside of the body frame, and have no fuse. That’s fine most of the time, but if the vehicle is involved in an accident, and the front left fender is damaged in just the right way, the battery could short circuit.

That’s precisely what happened to an owner on May 17, 2021. However, upon investigating the incident, Honda concluded that the circumstances surrounding the accident were highly unusual, attributing them to what it referred to as the ‘extreme crash angle.
