How Do You Know If Your Car Has a Fuel Pump Problem?

You might’ve heard about a Honda recall affecting fuel pumps on some models. Fortunately, we make it easy to determine whether your vehicle has been affected and, if so, how to replace the fuel pump. Here’s what to know about a recall from the pros at Casey Honda.

Symptoms of a Fuel Pump Problem

Here are a few signs that your vehicle might be affected by a Honda recall for fuel pumps:

• The car won’t start or struggles to start
• Fuel is leaking from your vehicle
• You hear or feel a sputtering sound or sensation while driving
• There’s a whining sound when you drive
• Your vehicle’s gas mileage is noticeably lower than normal

A crack or any other damage to the fuel pump can be dangerous due to the high pressure the gas is under, so it’s essential to determine whether your model is included in the recall.

Steps to Take During a Fuel Pump Recall
