What owners wrote
“Fuel pump injector needs to be replaced at approximately 68,000 miles. Honda issued an extended warranty on fuel pump injectors for 2018-2019 models but refuses to cover replace it. Check engine light came on due to injector failure. This poses an extreme safety risk.”

“I received a safety recall notice from Honda which is informing me that the parts for the fuel pump recall are now available. However, the second sentence of the letter states that the recall applies to 2018-2023 CR-V vehicles and I own a Honda Odyssey, not a CR-V. The letter is confusing since I do not own a CR-V.”

“approximately one year ago a safety recall was issued by Honda on 12/18/23 re Honda Odyssey fuel pump issues. Yet one year later it is not appear urgent enough to Honda or NHTSA because it still cannot be repaired/replaced. Does NHTSA really care about driver safety?”
