Honda has sent this recall notice in Feb 2024 and again in Jan 2025. I am unable to get it fixed and remedy. I am getting the run around that parts are not available. I called back in Oct 2024 and was put on a wait list. I called again 2/6/2025 and was told the same thing. I am trying to be proactive before the fuel pump goes out and be left stranded on the road.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jul 21, 2023

While driving on the freeway at 70 mph, my car started sputtering and out of instinct I placed the gear into neutral. Shortly after doing that the car died while moving. I tried a rolling/moving restart on the car by placing it in 6th gear, hold the clutch in and restart the ignition with no luck. Coasted the car to the nearest freeway exit and into a parking lot. If the car would have died while still in gear, the outcome wouldâve been catastrophic especially on a busy freeway. I was lucky enough that there wasnât too many cars in the left lane. After trying to restart the car multiple…
