Honda Motor's American unit is recalling over 2.5 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a fuel pump defect.

This is in addition to a worldwide recall of over 4.5 million cars, affecting various Honda and Acura models from 2017 to present.

The defect could lead to engine failure or stalling while driving, but no injuries have been reported.

Honda will replace the fuel pumps free of charge, and owners will be notified in waves due to a parts shortage.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will oversee the recall, and dealers will replace the faulty parts.

Honda Canada has issued a recall for almost 300,000 vehicles due to the same issue.

There is a separate recall for over 106,000 CR-V hybrid vehicles due to a missing fuse on the power circuit of exterior 12-Volt battery cables.
