Honda Malaysia recalls another 77,708 vehicles over fuel pump issue – units built from 2018 to 2020

Honda Malaysia (HMSB) has announced a product recall involving 77,708 units of Honda vehicles of various models. The recall is for the replacement of the fuel pump in these vehicles as a precautionary measure, and is an expansion of the fuel pump recall made in June last year.

The affected Honda models involved in the latest exercise were manufactured between 2018 and 2020, and are listed in the chart below. According to HMSB, all current selling models are not affected by this recall.

According to the company, this preventive measure is to address the possibility of difficulty in starting the engine, a loss of engine power or the vehicle stalling due to a faulty fuel pump. As of today, the company reports that there are no incidences of crashes or injuries caused by this issue in Malaysia.

The company urges all affected customers to contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment upon receipt of the notification to replace the fuel pump, subject to parts availability. The replacement of the affected fuel pump is free of charge and all cost related to the replacement activity will be borne by HMSB.

      Consider quite newly built year and now, recall.

      My bad.. Never considering H in near future.

      Lack of demonstration in improving QUALITY.
      May compromise SAFETY as well.

      All the best, Honda automotive users.

      QC is a myth.Profits come first for many big car companies.
      DRB..the culprit partner..quietly snoring,just like Protong,where X70 buyers have no spare bumpers after accidents.

        Pitiful attempt at trying and failing to divert away from Japan failings and blaming Proton. This has nothing to do with Proton. The Japs want to skimp on cost by lowering parts quality and while X70 is cheaper than HRV and CRV, we don’t find them giving cars with inferior engine parts that fast malfunction. It looks to be a Japanese thing.

  • So the recall affects 2020 built models till which mth? In the last recall, when u guys published the news, it was reported models 2020 at that time not affected. Now it’s a continuation it seems. So meaning Honda Malaysia continues to use the same problematic supply even the last recall happened isn’t it?

    While one must commend Honda for the recall, the fact is something is wrong that this is a recurring problem. You are not Proton la. Come on!

      100% Agree on the first part.
      100% DisAgree on the 2nd part.

    It happened to my CivicFC 2019, loss of power, luckily just before I drove to the main road.
    After replacing the fuel pump, the service advisor told us better not to pump fuel from Shell, as it will prone to damage the fuel pump again. Have no idea why is it so.

      BS from Honda blaming Shell for the fuel ump. Are they meaning that if you cont use Shell then will cont replace the pump? Why not they put that statement on their website and brochure: “Honda cars are incompatible with Shell petrol and you are likely to suffer multiple fuel pump failures with continued usage” so that poyential buyers are aware?

    Where are the Honda fanboys whacking Volkswagen all over the Internet??? Hiding. What a bs that VW is unreliable and problematic while Japanese cars especially Honda are flawless. Note problems can happen to any car whether German or Japanese. Depends on our luck on getting the good car and good service center. But, overall Honda reliability is very very disappointing. Worse than VW. Why does Honda keep using the same defective supplier for fuel pump??? Next year and following years will have the same recall exercise. Never ending.
