Honda is recalling approximately 720,000 vehicles in the U.S.—including several hybrid models—due to fuel pumps that may crack and leak.
The automaker announced that recall Tuesday, noting that 2023-2024 Accord and Accord Hybrid sedans, 2025 Civic and Civic Hybrid sedans, and 2023-2025 CR-V Hybrid crossovers were included. But it didn't break out specific numbers for hybrids, and further information was not available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at the time of publishing.
2025 Honda CR-V
These vehicles may have high-pressure fuel pumps with defective cores, which could allow cracks to form inside the pumps, according to Honda. During operation, these cracks can grow, leading to fuel leaks that present a fire risk. If this occurs, drivers may notice a fuel smell during idling or driving, Honda noted.
Dealers will inspect the high-pressure fuel pumps and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. Honda plans to begin mailing owner notification letters in December. Owners can also contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or visit the automaker's recall site for more information.
2024 Honda Accord
Among the recalled vehicles, the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid marks the return of the nameplate as the replacement for the Honda Insight, which itself was essentially a Civic sedan with different styling. Employing Honda's 2-motor hybrid system, the Civic Hybrid achieves Prius-like fuel economy of 49 mpg combined (50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway) in sedan form. A hatchback is also available, although it doesn't appear to be affected by this recall.
Honda expects the new Civic hybrid to eventually make up 40% of Civic sales, and claims hybrids already account for over 50% of Accord sales. That's in part because Honda offers the hybrid powertrain on four Accord trim levels, with only two non-hybrid grades (one of which is new for 2025).
