Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Honda HR-V

My 2018 Honda Hr-v had the federally-mandated safety recall 24-015 (fuel pump motor replacement) performed on August 16, 2025 at Honda westborough, westborough, MA. The vehicle had zero evap-related issues or warning lights before that recall work. Approximately 9 months later, in may 2026, a parking alert and check engine light appeared on the dash. I brought the vehicle back to the same dealership. The technician retrieved diagnostic codes p0455 (large evap leak) and p0456 (small evap leak), performed a smoke test, and confirmed the leak was coming specifically from the fuel pump motor area - the exact same location where the recall work had been performed. The technician's own notes state: "confirmed leak coming from the fuel pump motor area. " after replacing the o-ring and lock ring, the leak persisted at the same spot. A new fuel pump assembly (part# 17045-t7x-a02) was ultimately installed to resolve it. Honda westborough charged me $1,676. 61 for this repair, including $870. 50 in labor and $724. 83 in parts. When I contacted american Honda customer relations, they declined to reimburse me, stating the repair was unrelated to the recall. I strongly dispute this. The recall involved opening the fuel pump housing to replace the motor. The subsequent evap leak was confirmed by smoke test to originate at that exact location. No such issues existed before the recall. This is a direct causal connection. Other Honda owners on public forums (hr-v forum, civicx forum) have reported identical p0455/p0456 evap leaks appearing within days or months of the same recall being performed, suggesting a systemic issue with the recall repair procedure, specifically, improper resealing of the fuel pump housing after motor replacement. I am requesting: 1. An investigation into whether the recall 24-015 repair procedure is causing downstream evap system failures. 2. Honda be required to reimburse owners who incurred repair costs caused by improper recall workmanship.

I received a recall notice from the Honda dealership where I bought the car about 3 years ago. I explained that I am unable to bring my car there because of health related reasons and the fact that the dealer is over 50 miles away from my home. I can only drive very locally. I asked the dealer to send the fuel pump replacement assembly to my local mechanic`s repair business and have him install it. I was told in no uncertain terms that this replacement part recall may only be done by Honda mechanics at their service center. I explained I am unable to travel there and have disabilities making it impossible for me to get there. Nobody else can help me. I was told that I must live with the consequences of my decision and that the part will not be replaced. I am living in fear every time I have to use my car because the recall notice warns that this fuel pump defect must be replaced or there exists risk of a crash if it is not replaced. Please help me! I don`t know what to do! I am elderly and scared.
