Fuel/Propulsion System

ODI #11676787

Incident: July 12, 2025 · Filed: July 28, 2025

On my 2017 Acura NSX, Fuel Pump Module have failed on July 12, 2025, while driving on a highway, and the engine stalled coming to a stop in the middle of the freeway. The service dealer at Greensboro Acura confirmed the failed Fuel Pump Module part number is 17708-T6N-A02-M1 and it is clearly listed under NHTSA Recall 23V-858 report on page 11 Component Name 31. I have reported this incident and explained to Honda/Acura Client Relations Recall division, but was told that there's NO recall on my VIN. I believe Honda/Acura has failed to include this vehicle's VIN as part of the NHTSA Recall 23V-858 clearly includes recall information of the part listed on page 11 of NHTSA Recall 23V-858 report - Component Name 31. I have included a picture of the part 17708-T6N-A02-M1. I believe Acura/Honda has failed to add my VIN as part of the recall. Now that it has failed and require replacement, I hope you attend to this urgent matter at your earliest convenient time possible.

ODI #11673469

Incident: July 12, 2025 · Filed: July 14, 2025

My vehicle is 2017 Acura NSX with VIN 19UNC1B08HY000777. My vehicle experienced a fuel pump module failure identical to the known defect under Recall 23V-858, but my VIN is not currently included in the recall. I believe it should be. This is a significant safety matter, as I faced such fuel pump module failure that caused failure of the overall vehicle that came to a stop while I was driving on a freeway. I've never experienced such unsafe events. The car is not drivable and failed in hazardous conditions and is a safety risk. It was towed to the Acura dealer and diagnosed with Fuel Pump Malfunction with DTC P0087 and P2636 identical to known defect under Recall 23V-858. Please review and consider adding my VIN to Recall 23V-858.
