If you own or lease or previously owned or leased certain Honda or Acura vehicles, you may be entitled to benefits from a Settlement

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

There is a proposed settlement that has been preliminarily approved by the court in a class action lawsuit against American Honda Motor Co., Inc. ("Honda"), and Denso International America, Inc. ("Denso") (together, "Defendants"), concerning certain Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with low-pressure fuel pumps manufactured by Denso ("Covered Vehicles"). If you are included in the Settlement, you have legal rights and options and deadlines by which you must exercise them.

The Settlement offers benefits for repairs to correct defects in the low-pressure fuel pumps in certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including those installed as part of previous recalls, and other relief. Defendants deny the allegations in the lawsuit but have agreed to settle the lawsuit, Oliver v. Honda Motor Co. Ltd., et al., No. 5:20-cv-00666-MHH (N.D.AL.).

Who is included? Members of the Class are defined as: all persons or entities who, at any time as of the Preliminary Approval Order, own or owned, purchase(d) or lease(d) Covered Vehicles in any of the fifty States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico.

A VIN-lookup tool is available at www.HondaFuelPumpsSettlement.com to determine if your vehicle is a Covered Vehicle.

What does the Settlement Provide?

If the settlement receives final approval from the Court, Class Members will be eligible for the following Settlement benefits:

Limited Warranty: Honda will provide a limited warranty for low-pressure fuel pump repairs for 15 years, measured from the date the vehicle was first sold or leased by an authorized Honda or Acura dealer, or up to 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

For Class Members whose Covered Vehicles already exceed fifteen (15) years or 150,000 total miles as of the Final Effective Date, the Limited Warranty will last for ninety (90) days from the Final Effective Date; provided, however, that fuel pumps installed during this ninety (90) day period shall continue to be covered under Honda's one (1) year genuine replacement parts warranty.

Loaner/Tow Program: Class Members whose Covered Vehicles' low-pressure fuel pumps are being repaired or replaced under the Limited Warranty shall be entitled to: (i) a complimentary loaner vehicle by Honda Dealers upon reasonable notice; and (ii) if the Covered Vehicle is inoperable or exhibiting a dangerous condition related to the low-pressure fuel pump covered by the Limited Warranty, a complimentary tow to a Honda dealer upon reasonable notice.

Out-of-Pocket Reimbursement: Class Members may submit a Claim Form online or by mail to receive reimbursement of reasonable, previously paid out-of-pocket expenses incurred to repair or replace the low-pressure fuel pump in a Covered Vehicle.

The claim form is available at www.HondaFuelPumpsSettlement.com. Class Members must submit claim forms and any supporting documentation postmarked by 90 days after the Court issues the Final Order and Judgment, which will occur, if approved, after the Final Approval Hearing. If the Settlement is approved, the deadline for filing a Claim Form will be posted on www.HondaFuelPumpsSettlement.com.
