Safety Recall - Fuel Pump

[UKjim]

On the cash sale invoice from the Honda garage it mentions the complimentary vehicle health check (which I was not told they were going to do).

"Safety recall: 2018 RDX fuel pump motor.
Carried out fuel pump recall".

As my car was in the workshop for less than 1 hour I wonder if they replaced or just inspected the fuel pump. I would hope it was replaced but with doing the VHC I do not see how they could change it in the time it was in the workshop.

Complementary health checks are typically hoping to find extra work needed.

If a visual check can show its  not one of the pumps that are affected  replacing  it anyway has little advantage and increases the chances of mistakes.   From the following bulletin  about the recall in the USA  (For Acura and Honda   cars including the FIT/Jazz )  replacing the pump is not straightforward.

As my car was on the recall list I assumed the fuel pump would be replaced.

It wasn't until a few days later that I wondered if they had changed it or just inspected it.
In hindsight I would have asked them at the time of booking it in and after it had been in the workshop what work was carried out. It took me by surprise when the woman started talking about the health check which I was not that interested in, when I asked about the fuel pump she said. "It's fine, no problems" and carried on about the health check.

It sounds like it was checked not replaced from the comments they made. I notice another poster said he had a complimentary wash, another reason NOT to take mine in, I have seen  how dealers wash customer's cars!

Agree

I hate it when they use those plastic squeegees on paint

I use a Meguirs water magnet

With regards to the complimentary wash, they did ask if I wanted it first, so you could decline, but I was only too happy to take them up on the offer.

Also, as stated, I did receive an invoice with the cost of the replacement part (with it then removed by the recall code), so I assume it was replaced.

My Jazz is a 68 plate EX, if that narrows down the models likely affected.

I've just had a letter from Honda regarding a Fuel Pump Module Defect.
Has anyone else had this letter?

I've not had any issues with malfunction in that department but do you think it's best interest to head the dealership and have this sorted?

My lease ends after Christmas so not sure if I'd be responsible to fit the bill when handing over the car.

This has been known about for some time (see previous topic), coincidentally I received the same letter today.

I've decided not to have it done at least not in the near future.

I got the same letter six days ago.  Like UKjim, I have decided to leave it for now, probably until the service is due towards the end of the year.

Yep, got mine yesterday. I'll book it in for after my holiday in a few weeks. I'm sure the dealers will be busy doing them in the immediate future now the letters have gone out.

I just visited the Honda garage that did my fuel pump recall to try and find a resolution for my issue with resetting the TPMS.

I mentioned that the centre console would have been removed to replace the fuel pump but I was told that that only applies to the HRV, "apparently" on the Jazz the fuel pump is replaced from below !

[monkeydave]

that means they have to take the big plastic under tray off and then drop the tank if they do it from underneath, what a faf

That’s definitely not correct.

They also told me that there isn't a handbrake warning light on the Jazz or the Civic, only on the HRV.

Booked car in for 21st May, after my hols. Phoned Listers Honda Stratford upon Avon and left a message, they called me back very efficiently,  hopefully the work will go well.

PS mine definitely has a handbrake warning light .....

Thanks for the confirmation of the handbrake warning light, I was beginning to doubt myself !

I just phoned the dealer again to book my car in to fix the handbrake warning light, half expecting them to tell me again that there isn't a warning light on the Jazz but I couldn't have been more wrong.

The gentleman was knowledgeable and apologetic and explained that the handbrake light switch would have been disconnected when the centre console was removed to access the fuel pump, he apologised for the mistake and offered to fix it this afternoon while I waited.

I'm due to go on holidays tomorrow so I've booked it in for two weeks time.
