The referenced Recall for my Honda Ridgeline indicates that the fuel pump is suspect for an inadequate impeller and a possible safety problem. I have been awaiting this replacement part at least 8 months and the original recall has a date of December 18, 2023 which is over a year since identified. I have visited the dealership several times over the last six months and have been assured that I am on the "list" to receive a new fuel pump. The service department informed me on January 7, 2025 that they still have not received the fuel pump from you. The latest recall notice informed me pumps are available, but as you see in the previous paragraph I am not able to get the pump at present. Please expedite the delivery of the new improved fuel pump to the Honda dealership in Maui (Island Honda, 110 Hana Hwy, Kahului, HI 96732) to resolve this long overdue corrective action for my Honda Ridgeline truck

The fuel pump recall was issued in December 2023 and it still hasn't been repaired. It is almost a year later and when I have tried to contact the dealer and the company about the status of the recall, I don't get a response.

Honda recall on fuel pump from February 2024 has not been corrected due to Honda failing to supply part to local dealer for repair. I have concerns of the fuel pump failing while driving and have made multiple calls to Honda asking for the repair. Honda reply is that when the part is available they will notify. Six months is a long time to wait on a defect that could have serious consequence.

My 2018 Honda Ridgeline began to make a loud knocking noise from the lower motor. I bought this vehicle last June with 47k miles on it. The vehicle has prompted me twice to change the oil. Both times I changes the oil myself within two days of the car warning stating I had 15% life of the oil. At the same time as the indicator light lit I began to notice the knocking sound. I change the oil the very next morning only to find the noise getting louder. The car is at the dealer now and the dealer is fighting me tooth and nail not to cover the work. They made me financially responsible to tare down the motor and find the root cause of the engine failure. Im literally paying them to find whatever excuse they can to not cover the repairs. They are sending out an adjustor to assess the engine parts and take oil samples. At that point a report will be sent to Honda stating the findings. They are asking for my oil change receipts that I unfortunately do not have. I have used OEM filters and reset the on-board computer with each oil change. OfCourse Honda claims they cannot retrieve this information from the on-board computers that I find hard to believe. The vehicle has approximately 64k miles on it and has had a recall completed for a malfunctioning fuel pump that leaks fuel into the oil. Did the repair get done in time to prevent this issue? The issue ever truly get resolved. The warrantee is a Honda Certified warrantee that covers the vehicle for 100k or 7 years. Furthermore, Honda has extended the warrantee on the fuel system to 150k acknowledging there are fuel issues with the vehicle. I even found a you tube video stating the exact problem. The video goes on to say that the oil should be changed more often to prevent viscosity breakdown. If that's the case, why wouldn't they just do an upgrade to the onboard systems to prompt you to change the oil more frequently? This whole time I am left without a vehicle. What if the engine locked up causing an accident

On 06/05/20, 15:37 I fueled my ridgeline at raceway # 6953 in alachua, fl 32616, pump 1. When it came time to remove the fuel pump nozzle from the capless fill spout, it would not come out! I tried for a few minutes to no avail when the young guy who was at the next pump was observing my situation. He came over and tried with no luck to remove it. Fortunately he had a flathead screwdriver with him. It took him a few minutes of prying the cap at the mouth of the fill spout upwards also turning the fuel pump nozzle side to side. We finally turned the fuel pump nozzle 180 degrees and were able to free the pump nozzle from the fill spout on the honda. This was not a good situation to be in nor was it safe to be prying with a screwdriver on the metal fill spout cover at the mouth of a full tank of gas! I would appreciate that honda will provide me and other owners with a fix for fueling our trucks, so that this does not ever happen again. Obviously the truck was stationary as you requested to be stated with this complaint. My guess, their was/is a problem with the fill spout cap and the spring on the fuel pump nozzle. It seems like there is a miscalculation by honda or the fuel pump mfg. Or both regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Water gets in fuel filler cap (outer hinge) and freezes. Ice dam in the fuel filler area prevents fuel hinge from being opened, which prevents vehicle from being fueled. Vehicle was stationary when I discovered the problem (parked next to the fuel pumps). Has happened on two separate occasions.
