American automaker Honda has announced a massive recall of over 2.5 million vehicles in the United States due to a fuel pump-related issue. The recall was submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Monday by American Honda Motor Co. This recall spans multiple model years across Honda and Acura models.

According to the NHTSA recall report, the vehicles affected by the recall for Honda include models from the years 2018-2020. These models include Accord, Civic Coupe, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Civic Type R, CR-V, HR-V, Ridgeline, and Odyssey.
