Honda to replace faulty fuel pumps in 90,468 old units of select models in India

Japanese auto major Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) Friday said that it has expanded its previously announced campaign to voluntarily replace faulty fuel pumps in 90,468 old units of its select models in India.

Additionally, the campaign will cover 2,204 units of old models which have undergone this part change earlier as spare part, the company said in a statement. The fuel pumps installed in these vehicles may contain defective impellers, which could, over time result in engine stopping or not starting.

The affected models include the Amaze, Brio, BR-V, City, Jazz, and WR-V, produced from September 2017 to June 2018. Specifically, 18,851 units of the Amaze, 3,317 units of the Brio, 4,386 units of the BR-V, 32,872 units of the City, 16,744 units of the Jazz, and 14,298 units of the WR-V are covered in this campaign. Additionally, 2,204 units across various models, including the Accord, Amaze, Brio, BR-V, City, Civic, Jazz, and WR-V, where fuel pumps were replaced as spare parts, are covered under this campaign.

The replacement will be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner starting from 5th Nov 2024 and the owners are being contacted individually.

The customers can check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by submitting their 17-character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company’s website (www.hondacarindia.com).

Further, customers who may have bought Fuel Pump Assy from the Honda Cars authorised dealerships between Jun’17 ~ Oct’23 through over the counter sale, also may check their vehicle through Honda Cars dealership.
