Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1221000 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 16, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Fuel pump |
| Production period | April 2013 — September 16, 2014 |
| Vehicles affected | 4,328 units |
Defect
The resin bracket inside the fuel pump is made of an improper material. Prolonged exposure to the test fluid used during manufacturing causes the bracket to swell in service and contact the impeller. Continued use increases resistance at the contact point, and in the worst case, wear debris generated at the contact area becomes lodged between the bracket and the impeller, causing the fuel pump to stop. This results in an engine stall from which the engine cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the fuel pump with a corrected part.

状況
燃料ポンプ内の樹脂製ブラケットの材質が不適切なため、製造時に使用した試験油に長期間浸漬されると、使用過程において、当該ブラケットが膨張し、インペラと干渉することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、干渉部の抵抗が大きくなり、最悪の場合、干渉部から生じた磨耗粉がブラケットとインペラ間に噛み込むと、燃料ポンプが停止してエンストし、再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料ポンプを対策品と交換する。
