Honda Malaysia Recalls 87,490 Vehicles Over Fuel Pump Issues
Honda Malaysia has issued a product recall involving 87,490 units of its vehicles in Malaysia to address potential fuel pump issues. The move, described as a precautionary measure, involves replacing either the standard fuel pump impeller or high-pressure fuel pump, depending on the model.
According to the company, this recall does not affect any current production or selling models. The recall is part of Honda Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to customer safety and product reliability.
Fuel Pump Impeller Issue – 84,073 Units Affected
The majority of the vehicles involved – 84,073 units – are being recalled due to a potential issue with the fuel pump impeller.

High-Pressure Fuel Pump Issue – 3,417 Units Affected
Separately, 3,417 units of newer Civic and CR-V models are being recalled due to a high-pressure fuel pump that may develop cracks from prolonged use or stress. This defect could result in fuel leakage or noticeable fuel odour during driving or idling.
Models affected include:
