- Dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 17, 2025. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are EL1 and AL0.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 294,612 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 40 times before this, most recently in November 2024 as 24V900000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 513 complaints with NHTSA, 114 of them before this campaign was filed. 5 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 May 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V054000 (seats), 25V391000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V056000 (seat belts), 24V900000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 January 23, 2025 as campaign 25V031000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
