Honda Canada Recalls Thousands of Vehicles Due to Fire Risk

A heightened fire risk has led to the recall of more than 60,000 Honda hybrid vehicles in Canada.

"During vehicle operation, these cracks can lead to possible fuel leaks and fuel smell while idling or driving," the company said in its recall notice. "A fuel leak in the presence of a spark increases the risk of a fire, along with the potential of a subsequent crash or injuries."

The affected models are the 2023-2024 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid, the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid, and the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Sedan Hybrid.

Registered owners of all affected models will receive a notification by mail asking them to bring their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for a complimentary inspection, Honda Canada said. The dealer will inspect and replace the high-pressure fuel pump if it is found to be defective.

The company recalled nearly 240,000 vehicles across the country less than two weeks ago due to a steering issue that could increase collision risk.

The automaker also announced a nationwide recall for nearly 67,000 vehicles due to airbag-sensor issues in front passenger seats in February.
