2019 Honda Fit: fuel pump failure

Filed Jun 16, 2025 · Fuel system · TX

My vehicle has difficulty starting and sometimes won't even start at all, the motor is irregular/jumpy, and the check engine light and steering wheel light have come on. After getting a diagnostics run at AutoZone the computer indicates it's a fuel pump issue. A second opinion with a mechanic also confirmed it was the fuel pump. After further research I see that the 2019 Honda Fit had a recall for Fuel Pumps. However, my specific VIN does not qualify for a recall. Honda needs to further investigate and expand the number of vehicles that were affected by this faulty fuel pump. I've been left stranded numerous times and fear that the vehicle may stall while driving, putting myself and other drivers on the road at risk.

The fuel pump is malfunctioning. The car struggles to start and when it does start the engine is erratic and the check engine light and steering wheel light come one. I’ve taken the car to AutoZone for a diagnostic test and the computer showed it was a fuel pump issue. I got a second opinion with a mechanic who confirmed the same thing. The car has left me stranded multiple times when it doesn’t start and I fear that the car my stall while driving putting me and other drivers at risk. I researched my issue and there is indeed a recall out for faulty fuel pumps for the Honda Fit 2019. However, my specific VIN number does not qualify for the recall. Honda needs to investigate and expand the number of vehicles that were impacted. Clearly my vehicle is suffering from the same issue and I can’t get it fixed at the dealership due to my VIN not qualifying.

Recall 23V‑858 issued nearly 1 year ago. Honda notified that parts were available to those not currently experiencing direct fuel pump issues in September of 2024. Dealership was contacted in early October, late October, and mid-November but repeatedly claims that parts are not available. Although I was added to a waitlist, no indication of parts availability to remedy the recall has been provided.

Engine light came on and it was brought to the dealership and I was told all fuel injectors need to be replaced and it wouldn't be under warranty. The car has 65,000 miles on which is just over warranty, but I should still not have had to replace these yet. There have been other problems with the fuel system with the fuel pump recall and they have extended the warranty on fuel injectors in other Honda vehicles, which leads me to believe this is a greater problem than just my car and it should still be covered by Honda.

My Fit was purchased in May of 2019. On October 2022, all warning lights (tpms, check engine, lane assist, etc) suddenly turned on when the vehicle was turned on. The car was taken to the same Honda dealer where it purchased and the service department determined the problem to be a cylinder misfire (P0303, cylinder #3). Since I immediately took the vehicle to be serviced, I was able to avoid a likely engine stall that other Fit owners have been experiencing. My vehicle has had all of its required and recommended maintenance performed on time at the same Honda dealer where it was purchased, including replacing the fuel pump at 15k miles and performing decarb service at 20k miles. Even though my Fit was maintained to the exact specifications Honda required, the car still had this fuel system failure which the service department was unable to explain nor were they willing to comp despite having an extended warranty (also purchased at dealer). This error code is the same problem that triggered a service bulletin on all previous model years which Honda covered but has not done so for this model year. I spoke with Honda Customer Service department (1‑800‑999‑1009, option 1, 6, 5) and their warranty department but neither were willing to help because it was beyond the 3yr/36k coverage and was not covered by the extended warranty.

On May 22, 2021 I received a letter from Honda to advise me of a recall regarding my 2019 Honda Fit's fuel pump. I am leasing said automobile which lease expires in October, 2022. I tried making an appointment for June 15, 2021 at 2:30PM to have the fuel pump repaired only to receive a voicemail about an hour later from someone at Galpin Honda in Mission Hills (where I am leasing my car from) who said something to the effect that Honda was unable to repair my car because they don't have the parts to replace the fuel pump. I was told I would be receiving a second letter (I was not told when nor what the second letter would consist of).

Car is under recall to replace fuel pump assembly. The service department of the first dealership I called, castle honda in morton grove, il, told me they would need to inspect the car first before ordering the part and would only replace it if it was damaged. I argued that that was not what the recall notice said they would do, but the rep insisted they would need to inspect the car and it might not need repair. I called a second dealership and they immediately scheduled an appointment for the repair. (my complaint is with the castle honda dealership, not with american honda).
