Honda recalls 720,810 cars: See affected models

Honda has initiated its second major vehicle recall this month, this time for over 700,000 vehicles that may experience a fuel leak due to a cracked pump.
Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall last week for certain Honda Accord, Civic and Hybrid models, totaling 720,810 potentially impacted cars.
According to the notice, the faulty production of high-pressure fuel pumps resulted in cracks that can worsen when the pump is functioning. This can cause fuel leaks and lead to an increased risk of injury, warned NHTSA.
This recall comes after another one issued by Honda for 1.7 million cars in early October due to steering wheel issues.

According to the recall information sent to NHTSA from Honda, the high-pressure fuel pump in affected vehicles may crack and leak fuel.
The issue was caused by improper production of high-pressure fuel pumps, said Honda. As a result, a crack can form in the core component of the fuel pump, causing a leak. A fuel leak that occurs near an ignition source increases the risk of fire, crash and/or injury.
In some cases, the odor of gas while vehicles were driven or idling was reported.
