What's wrong?

The low-pressure fuel pump sits inside the fuel tank on affected 2018-2020 Acura vehicles. Its job is to move gasoline from the tank toward the engine at a steady pressure, so the engine has the fuel it needs while starting, idling, and driving.

Inside that pump is an impeller, a small rotating piece that helps push fuel through the module. In the recalled pumps, lower-density impellers were exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods before assembly. That condition can let surface cracks form and the impeller swell. Once swollen, the impeller can bind against the pump housing and the fuel pump module can stop working.

The warning sign listed for this recall is the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument panel. If that light appears, the fuel pump problem is the issue to ask the Acura dealer about.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

A failed fuel pump can make the engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. A malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument panel is the warning sign named for this recall. If the lamp appears or the engine stalls, pull over safely and call an Acura dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Acura dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm whether this 2018-2020 Acura recall includes your Rlx Hybrid, Civic, Insight, Accord, Rlx, Nsx, Hr-V, Rdx, or Fit.
  2. Contact your nearest franchised Acura dealer to schedule the free fuel-pump assembly replacement that fixes the pump failure tied to engine stalling.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Acura mailed one. Reference recall number 20V314 when you call.
  4. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, since an engine stall while driving increases crash risk.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an Acura technician replaces the low-pressure fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. The replacement parts and labor are free under recall 20V314. Because the manufacturer used its general reimbursement plan on file, owners who already paid for a related fuel pump repair before the recall notice can submit documentation through the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan. Bring repair invoices and proof of payment to the Acura service desk or contact customer service for the claim process.
