Filing in context
The Fuel Pump is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 57 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 31 Honda notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 1,397 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 1 year and 4 months.
Issue
The plastic bracket inside the fuel pump is made of an incorrect material. Prolonged exposure to the test fluid used during manufacturing causes the bracket to swell in service and contact the impeller. Continued operation increases resistance at the contact point, and in the worst case, wear debris generated at the contact point becomes lodged between the bracket and the impeller, causing the fuel pump to stop. This stalls the engine and prevents restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel pump unit 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、燃料ポンプユニットを対策品と交換する。
