Yes, Even the NSX ![]() *Acura* It isn't every day that a $25,000 compact sedan owner and a $170,000 supercar owner show up at the same dealer, at the same time, for the same service. However, that very well may happen quite soon, as [Honda]() is recalling more than 2.6 million cars, from 2017-2020, for faulty fuel pumps. What's more, several [Acura]() models are included—even the NSX. According to Honda, the recall is to replace Denso-supplied fuel pumps which could fail and cause engines to stall while driving. If the engine stalls on the move, certain systems like power steering and braking will stop working in tandem. Last I checked, those are pretty important. Thankfully, Honda isn't aware of any crashes related to this fuel pump failure. ![]() **Honda** The issue is with the fuel pump's internal parts, as Honda claims the affected pumps' impellers were improperly molded. Over time, the faulty impellers can deform, damaging the internal fuel pump body, and causing it to fail. No fuel pump, no fuel, no engine. Unfortunately, Honda doesn't have enough replacement parts to fix every recalled vehicle immediately, so owners will start getting notices in February to bring their cars in, in waves. You can see the full list of cars being recalled [here](). What's amusing is seeing the [Acura NSX]() on the list. Pretty much every single Honda and Acura model is included in the recall, from the entry-level Honda Fit, all the way up to the nearly $200,000 NSX. This means even Honda's mighty 600-horsepower hybrid supercar uses the same Denso fuel pump as the Fit. That's not a knock on the NSX, it's just funny to imagine an NSX owner and an [Acura ILX]() owner poking at the service department's basket of snacks and brewing subpar Keurig coffee at the same time, for the same reason. So for just a couple of fleeting hours, entry-level Honda and Acura customers can experience the very same charmed life they would if they had an NSX in their driveway instead. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
