Honda

and

Acura

have issued two separate fuel pump-related

recalls

for

Ridgeline

pickups, as well as

Accord

and

TLX

sedans, and

MDX

SUVs. Affected Ridgelines could have an increased risk of fire, while the Accord, TLX, and MDX could potentially stall out while driving.

According to

NHTSA

campaign No. 19V053000, Honda is recalling 106,683 2017-2019 Ridgelines because the fuel pump feed port could crack when exposed to certain acids, including

car wash

soaps. If it cracks, it could leak pressurized fuel, which could catch fire. Vehicles with this defect are subject to a free fuel pump replacement, as well as an extra fuel pump cover.

The second recall, campaign No. 19V060000, affects 437,032 2016-2018

MDX

, 2015-2019

TLX

, and 2015-2017

Accord

models equipped with 3.5-liter V6 engines. According to Honda, fuel particulates could stick to internal components of the fuel pump. This could potentially slow down the fuel pump and hinder performance, which could cause the engine to sputter and stall. Honda

dealers

will update the fuel injection engine control unit software and/or replace the fuel pump, if needed.
