The fuel pumps in these vehicles have an impeller (rotating part of the pump) which can crack and eventually lead to the fuel pump to stop working. The failing of the fuel pump could lead to a vehicle stalling and increase the risk of a crash. Honda said that it is unaware of any crashes or injuries which have resulted from this problem.
