Having watched the video, I think I’ll pass on this until I get a problem  if I ever do.

I have a 2019 1.3 Jazz. After reading this thread I went on line and checked my VIN. My car is subject to recall. I called my supplying dealer and checked with them, the car is booked in for replacement on Monday 3rd February. They have ordered the new part and told me to contact them on Friday afternoon to check they have it in. I was told it would take a couple of hours, I'll take a book and also check out the new HRV and Cross star while I'm there as I'm considering changing later this year.

the problem is if the pump motor packs up and you're doing motorway speed, that's rather unpleasant situation... engine stalls, you likely loose your power steering and servo braking and best case scenario you're stuck on hard shoulder.
but how common are those pump failures? is there any history of major failures previously raised on this forum?

the procedure looks quite invasive and I can already smell the petrol spilled over my seats by the apprentice

i have not heared of one packing up and they said it could not when, they also said you would smell petrol if it was cracking, it is in the tank so you would not smell anything and they said it could show signs of cracking, it is all steel and you cant see the impeller.

the main point i took away from the letter i saw on here that it is honda being very cautious and wanting to see the pump but just to inspect it and if it is ok just put it back and not replacing every pump.

also if the car has done 35000 miles it should have shown up by now especially as it has been mostly motorway miles.

i can also smell the petrol on my front seats.

i am still unsure what i will do at the moment and how come all on here have phoned the dealer, shouldn't they be sending out letters as it was just an off chance that we know about it from the mot gov website, there must be thousands of jazz owners that dont know about this

must be a very recent recall on UK market, mine came up by accident on an mot a couple of days ago and is now showing online on the mot history but wasn't showing anything last week, hence no formal communication from honda as yet.
i can see on the US market they've been recalling various honda and acura models for a couple of years now

now wondering, if it's worth waiting with the procedure before they master the replacement without causing too much other damage or better to go asap before they get inundated with claims

[monkeydave]

im going to wait and see, make sure they have a lot of stocks of pumps and maybe get it done on the service and mot all in one as my dealer is 50 miles away

Following this thread with interest, and it's a bit puzzling why my car (bought 2015, but probably MY 2016) doesn't flag up with a recall. So I looked at the Gov.uk website for all the years that Mk3s were sold in the UK. It looks like all cars from 2017 onwards are affected irrespective of engine size; presumably Honda changed supplier so very early cars, like mine, are not affected. The recall is dated August 2020 and apparently affects over 149,000 vehicles. The wording is:
"Affected vehicles may be equipped with a fuel pump module manufactured with low density impellers."

I found out about the recall during a conversation with another owner. Checked on the government website. Contacted Honda dealer, booked in for mid April (I'm away a lot)
1.5 hours, less than half full tank and empty boot.
Not happy about dealer touching my car though.

Interesting, my 2018 1.5 sport goes in on 14/2 for the recall rectification

Why on earth would they require an empty boot,  all the work is inside the car under the handbrake?

they probably fold the rear seats and chuck your centre console into the boot off the way to access the fuel pump assembly

God knows!! It is a dealer,  standards won't be very high. Hopefully they won't create problems with my car...

I’m not bothering in the near future, likely cause more trouble than a ‘possible’ faulty fuel pump that may last longer than me!

My 2019 1.3 M.O.T is due at the end of March and I put my VIN into the link and I see "Safety recall: 2018 rdx fuel pump motor".

I bought my car when it was just over 3 years old from a car forecourt.
As far as I know there was no Honda warranty passed onto me. Am I still eligible for the free repair?
