Honda Recalls Over 628,000 Vehicles, Including Top Selling CR-V

KPRC Radio:

Honda announced a recall of more than 628,00 vehicles due to a potentially faulty fuel pump. The carmaker said the rotating part of the pump, known as an impeller, could fail, causing the engine to stall.

“Affected vehicles may be equipped with a fuel pump module manufactured with low-density impellers. If the surface of a lower density impeller is exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time, higher levels of surface cracking may occur. These cracks may lead to excessive fuel absorption, resulting in impeller deformation,” Jeff Chang, a senior manager at Honda’s Product Regulatory Office, wrote in a filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. more

    Translation: We used the wrong plastic, it warps. Fuel pump dies.

  3. Someone got the bright idea to make a problem worse.

    BMW here in California charges almost $10,000 dollars for a fuel pump if it is of the SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle)type which was put in place as a tax incentive to keep business here..

    I have a 04 BMW SULEV 325CI. If my pump goes bad, I have to buy the whole tank with pump because it isn’t serviceable. The part is $7,000.00. If I had to do that, the only logical thing to do is trash a perfectly fine vechile to the scap heap over a pump.

  5. “…the only logical thing to do is trash a perfectly fine vehicle to the scrap heap over a pump.”

    People like me find that perfectly illogical. Because we know how to circumvent that “non serviceable” bullshit.

    Ain’t many of us anymore, but some of us still abide.

  6. Don’t panic if you have one… electric high pressure fuel pumps generally give a warning before they lay down. Those injectors are gonna spray fuel still when the pressure starts dropping. Plenty of time to get off the road.

  10. Fred: Your right, many, many in tank fuel pumps die with low fuel as the cause. Don’t let you tank run low! Many tanks now have rear compartment access covers because the manufacturer knows the problem is out there waiting to bite you.

    I don’t think you understand. A SULEV car isn’t built like a non-SULEV car. First of all, California law overrides any mods. It’s a waste of time, and effort.

    Second the car itself is proprietary within the law here.

    Third My SULEV has zero fuel return. All stainless steel one way, and the computer is programed that way.

    Forth you can’t just swap out with a non-SULEV, and if one can, the vehicle, even in excellent shape, isn’t worth the effort, or the cost. At best, I’d part it out. My in block engine and cooling look brand new with 150,000 mile, and I’m the third owner.

  17. I just recalled my 1973 Super Beetle for some tappet noise. It took 12 minutes to check all 8 of them, and adjust one.

    It cost me nothing and nobody paid me to do it.

  18. We have had several Hondas.
    My favorite was. 2013 V6 coupe. It had paddle shifters for manual override of the automatic transmission.
    Honda eliminated the V6 Accord and the coupe.
    Worst thing is that many of the cars have the small turbo 4 with a CVT.
    The vehicles still equipped with V6 have real automatic transmissions.
    The 2.0 L turbo engine also has an automatic transmission.

  21. CVTs… wow.

    Amazing, but silly.

    Put a fucking 4 speed manual in it with a split axle.

    Just kidding. Even my vehicle inspector won’t get in the cab of my 1967 Ford 600. He does reach in to toot the horn, though.

  24. I once changed out a fuel pump in my Beetle for 17 dollars. That was a bitch. It took about 7 minutes. Two nuts and some hose clamps.

    Oh shit, where’s that gasket? Oh shit, which is IN, and which is OUT? Soooo confusing.

  26. Burr, biting knuckle in jealousy, mine was a forestry 18 foot flatbed. PO cut 4 feet off the bed.

    I’m not mad.

    What I AM mad about is that 330 HD. A pig. I got to the top of Caney Mountain doing about 12 mph. but I did have 20,000 pounds of wood on it.

    The sad thing is, had it been empty I may have got all the way to 15 mph.

    2

  30. lowered. 2:5 rear…positraction.

    Fab or find a dually pick up bed..

    Figure out if your 330 is a big block or not…bore it out or swap it for the 385.

    Then there’s nothing left to do but watch all the speeding tickets roll in.

  31. I came down the second to last valley going up Caney and pushed to 70 mph. Roaring down that bitch. Fucking bias plies and steering like, “Oh, shit, uhh, no, fuck, whatfuckisthisthingdoing?”

    Reminds me of Crackerbaby’s bucket truck.

    “Hit the brakes!”

    “I did. Both feet.”

    “Let off and hit them again.”

    “Nope. Not killing anybody today.”

  33. It’s a Ford.

    Ford has never really concerned itself with stopping.

    Historically speaking.

    But to fix the steering you gotta’ find an old guy who knows how to heat up the kingpins and bend them. Otherwise…yeah, lot’s of play in the steering at anything approaching kite flying speed.

    I wonder how far I could jump your truck…..

    Also…wondering if a TREMEC 5 speed would be strong enough.

  34. You could jump it astoundingly.

    This was the truck I was driving when the “Binning” thread came up 2 or 3 years ago on IOTW.

    Everybody asked what “binning” was. Binning is when you make the decision to bin the truck rather than some other decision.

  36. “Ford has never really concerned itself with stopping.”

    @Burr appears to be the other guy that lost a cam shaft position sensor in an 8000+ lb. Excursion just as he approached a Prius at a red light… 🙂

  38. Oh I help out Jimmy Volmer with his old timey collection. He’s in a wheelchair.

    Several times we’ve disassembled ford brakes from the teens and found the fully intact and still functioning asbestos expansion ring still sittin’ there.

    Yeah, they’ll stop ya’. Eventually.

    Hell I still have the original master cylinder in muh 66.

    Stoppin’ and not goin’ nowhere’s is more of a bowtie deal.

    Hee hee hee

  39. Burr, disinclined to obey physics: In the past we would drive the pin out and bore out the knuckle and run concentrics to set castor then pin the sleeve.If the wheel base was shortened with the chop it will mess with the akerman and cause tire scub and vague steering. I don’t do that stuff any more i just stick to my motorcycles.

  41. “Stoppin’ and not goin’ nowhere’s is more of a bowtie deal.”

    LOL!

    I can’t buy GMC’s / Chevy’s because they haven’t changed their interior spray adhesive glue in 50+ years… The minute I sit in one and catch a whiff, I’m 3 years old, sitting in my Grandfather’s ’63, pulling make-shift road scraper thru the mud…

  46. Oh….we’re goin’ all out I see….

    O.K.

    Duramax? The bulldog from Paw Patrol drives a Duramax. You gonna’ go all Paul Teuttle Sr and step out of your Tonka truck wearing crocs and shorts?

    …..I’m sorry…..crocs and shorts went a lil’ too far.

  52. Well I got here late, enjoyed this thread a lot.
    I’m a Chevy truck guy, I like their parts interchangeability.
    Dad was too, but started going to Fords in his sunset years. I have no love for ANY trucks built after 1972.
    My $0.02.

  53. P.S.
    No Jeeps built after 1975.
    Get a CJ5 with a factory 4-speed (if you can find one.)
    And ditch the Motorola alternator. Bypass the VR and use a Delco 1-wire instead.
