The fault could cause a fuel leak and in the presence of an external ignition could lead to a vehicle fire, according to the recall notice.
Honda has recalled 5362 examples of its MY24 Accord Hybrid, MY24 CR-V Hybrid, MY24 Civic Hybrid, and MY23-MY24 ZR-V Hybrid, citing a potential fault with the vehicle's high-pressure fuel pump.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2022 to 2024 builds – across 2023-2024 model years – but may have been sold at a later date.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a manufacturing defect, the high-pressure fuel pump solenoid valve may develop cracks. If this occurs, fuel may leak and in the presence of an external ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.
"A vehicle could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property."
