Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 624,552 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 31 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V010000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 25 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9,184 complaints with NHTSA, 1,754 of them before this campaign was filed. 877 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2017, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V423000 (back over prevention), 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 26V227000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on March 25, 2021 as campaign 21V215000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
