2001 Honda Civic recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sedans, a small amount of water may have been left in the fuel pump electrical connector after testing. This residual water could cause the fuel pump to fail due to corrosion.
💥 The risk
If the pump stops working, the engine will stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel pump. If corrosion is found, the fuel pump will be replaced. Owner notification began june 29, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
