Honda Cars recalls 65,651 units of various models to replace faulty fuel pumps

Honda Cars India (HCIL) on Friday said it would voluntarily replace the fuel pump in 65,651 units of its 2018 manufactured select car models.

"The fuel pumps installed in these vehicles may contain defective impellers, which could, over time result in engine stopping or not starting," the company said in a statement.

The maximum number of replacement of fuel pump will happen in Amaze with 32,498 units, followed by the City (16,434 unit), Jazz (7,500), WR-V (7,057), BR-V (1,622) and CR-V (360).

The replacement will be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner starting from June 20, it said adding that the owners will be contacted individually.

"As the dealer facilities are currently functioning with a limited staff to ensure strict implementation of safety and distancing norms specified by the government authorities, customers are advised to visit the dealer with prior appointment to avoid inconvenience," HCIL said.

The customers can check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company's website, it added.
