Honda VT1300CX and VT750 recall: The fuel pump may malfunction due to a manufacturing defect

Recall published 24 days ago

The fuel pump may malfunction due to a manufacturing defect.

The hazard: Fuel leak or fire risk

A fire risk is what prompted this recall, and the manufacturer’s parking instruction is the part of the notice people most often skip.

What the notice says: Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Why it matters: The vehicle may leak fuel, or a component may overheat enough to start a fire. Several of these campaigns involve a fire risk while the vehicle is parked and switched off, which is why the parking instructions matter.

What to do about Fuel / fire

Honda — A fire risk is what prompted this recall, and the manufacturer’s parking instruction is the part of the notice people most often skip.

  1. Read the risk note above carefully. If it says to park outdoors and away from buildings, do that tonight — the fire can start with the engine off and the key indoors.
  2. Keep the repair order the dealer hands you. It is your proof the campaign was closed out, and it matters at resale.
  3. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you do anything else. A campaign covers a build range, not every car of that model year, and the VIN lookup is the only thing that confirms yours is included.
  4. 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.

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.
  • Get the closed campaign noted on your service record. Buyers and insurers both check.
  • Ask about a loaner or rental when you book, not when you arrive. On a parts-delayed campaign it is frequently available and almost never volunteered.
  • Keep receipts for towing, storage or a rental you arranged yourself — reimbursement for these is common where the vehicle was undrivable.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in January 2027. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's numbers for this recall are KU9, KV0, and KV1. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 8, 2026.
