Statement by American Honda Regarding Fuel Feed Pipe Recall: 2017 Honda CR-V

  • Approximately 24,000 CR-V vehicles included in the U.S.
  • Fuel feed pipes will be replaced, free of charge
  • No crashes, fires or injuries have been reported

Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 24,000 CR-V vehicles from the 2017 model year to replace their fuel feed pipes, free of charge. Honda has not received any reports of crashes, fires or injuries related to this issue.

During manufacturing, the supplier may have used an incorrect die to create the end form on the fuel feed pipe, which is needed to secure the connection to the fuel feed hose under the center of the vehicle. If the end form was not manufactured correctly, the feed pipe and the feed hose may not be completely connected or may disconnect once the fuel lines become pressurized, resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash, or if there is a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, an increased risk of a fire.

Honda is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive mailed notice about the recall. Mailed notification to owners of affected vehicles will occur in late-August 2017. Owners of 2017 CR-Vs can also determine now if their individual vehicles will require repair by visiting www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
