Filing in context
The Fuel pump is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 37 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 18 Honda notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 1,933 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 5 months.
Defect
The plastic inlet cover inside the fuel pump is made of an inappropriate material. Prolonged exposure to the test fluid used during manufacturing causes the inlet cover to swell in service and contact the impeller. This interference increases rotational resistance, and wear particles generated at the contact point can become lodged between the inlet cover and the impeller. In the worst case, the fuel pump stops, causing the engine to stall and preventing restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel pump unit with the corrected part.

状況
燃料ポンプ内の樹脂製インレットカバーの材質が不適切なため、製造時に使用した試験油に長時間浸漬されると、使用過程において、当該インレットカバーが膨張し、インペラと干渉することがある。そのため、干渉部の抵抗が大きくなり、干渉部から生じた摩耗粉がインレットカバーとインペラ間に噛み込むと、最悪の場合、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、燃料ポンプユニットを対策品と交換する。
