The company said in a statement last week that cracks could form inside the fuel pump if there are issues with the core, potentially leading to fuel leaks. 

“A fuel leak in the presence of a spark increases the risk of a fire, along with the potential of a subsequent crash or injuries,” the statement said. 

More than 700,000 vehicles are being recalled in the U.S. for the same issue. There have been no confirmed reports of fires, crashes or injuries in Canada or the U.S. in connection with this issue, the company said. 

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by mail in December, the company said, and asked to take their vehicle to a registered Honda dealer for a free inspection. If the vehicle is found to have a defective part, it will be replaced. 

These are the affected models, according to Honda Canada:

2023-2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Sedan Hybrid If you’re concerned that your vehicle might require repair, you can also search your vehicle information number on Honda’s website. 

It’s the second major recall Honda has issued this month. The company recalled nearly 240,000 vehicles in early October due to issues with the steering system.
