Honda recall: The oil pump driven gear may fail, resulting in a loss of drive power

Recall published 1+ years ago

The oil pump driven gear may fail, resulting in a loss of drive power.

The hazard: Loss of drive power or rollaway

The defect can leave the vehicle without power while moving, or allow it to move while nobody is in it.

What the notice says: Loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash or injury.

Why it matters: The vehicle may stall, lose motive power while being driven, or roll away after being left in park. A stall at speed removes power steering and power braking assistance at the same moment.

What to do about Power loss

Honda — The defect can leave the vehicle without power while moving, or allow it to move while nobody is in it.

  1. If the vehicle has already stalled or rolled, stop using it and tell the dealer that when you book — it moves you up the queue.
  2. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.
  3. Until it is repaired, always set the parking brake as well as selecting park, and turn the front wheels towards the kerb on a slope.
  4. Avoid high-speed roads with no hard shoulder if the notice describes a stall while driving.

What the recall repair costs you

Nothing, and that is a legal obligation rather than a goodwill gesture. The question worth asking is what else is covered.

  • Recall work is free for as long as you own the vehicle, with no mileage limit, no age limit for the current owner, and no requirement that you bought the car from that dealer.
  • Keep receipts for towing, storage or a rental you arranged yourself — reimbursement for these is common where the vehicle was undrivable.
  • If you already paid an independent garage for the same fix, submit the invoice to the manufacturer under their reimbursement plan.
  • Get the closed campaign noted on your service record. Buyers and insurers both check.
