Honda is recalling roughly 720,000 vehicles within the U.S.—including several hybrid models—as a result of fuel pumps that will crack and leak.
The automaker announced that recall Tuesday, noting that 2023-2024 Accord and Accord Hybrid sedans, 2025 Civic and Civic Hybrid sedans, and 2023-2025 CR-V Hybrid crossovers were included. However it didn’t break out specific numbers for hybrids, and further information was not available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the time of publishing.
2025 Honda CR-V
These vehicles could have high-pressure fuel pumps with defective cores, which could allow cracks to form contained in the pumps, in keeping with Honda. During operation, these cracks can grow, resulting in fuel leaks that present a hearth risk. If this happens, drivers may notice a fuel smell during idling or driving, Honda noted.
Dealers will inspect the high-pressure fuel pumps and replace them, if needed, freed from charge. Honda plans to start mailing owner notification letters in December. Owners can even contact Honda customer support at 1-888-234-2138 or visit the automaker’s recall site for more information.
2024 Honda Accord
Among the many recalled vehicles, the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid marks the return of the nameplate because the substitute for the Honda Insight, which itself was essentially a Civic sedan with different styling. Employing Honda’s 2-motor hybrid system, the Civic Hybrid achieves Prius-like fuel economy of 49 mpg combined (50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway) in sedan form. A hatchback can also be available, even though it doesn’t look like affected by this recall.
Honda expects the brand new Civic hybrid to eventually make up 40% of Civic sales, and claims hybrids already account for over 50% of Accord sales. That is partially because Honda offers the hybrid powertrain on 4 Accord trim levels, with only two non-hybrid grades (one in all which is latest for 2025).
