Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Honda HR-V

Rcv'd recall notice at end of July for fuel pump module with �out of specification impellers. Overtime, these impellers may absorb an excessive amount of fuel and deform. A deformed impeller may cause the fuel pump to stop working�. Did not receive notification until the end of July 2020 when the recall was set in may 2020. Dealer where I purchased vehicle was unaware of the recall and checked in the beginning of August saying the parts were not yet released by Honda. Finally, on 8/26/20 I contacted corporate who indicated the part had been released a few weeks prior. Dealer put in a new fuel pump which apparently fixes the problem but upon picking it up the inside of the vehicle smelled very strong of gasoline. The Honda mechanic reassured it was just fumes from the repair since they access pump to the fuel tank from inside the vehicle . However, on the roughly 20 mile ride home the smell of gasoline got worse so much that we had to roll the windows down because we were getting a headache and over taken by the gasoline smell. We stopped at a gas station to fill the vehicle tank which was down to about 1/4 tank. When the gas attendant filled the tank all the gas started leaking out from under the car. Car was pushed away from the pump. Gas continued to pour from underneath as a steady stream then after about a half hour to a drip. Vehicle was towed back to dealer who the next day thought the wing nut to hold the pump gasket loosened and assured it was fixed. They filled the tank drove it , said it was fine. I left it overnight, and the next day they checked the vehicle and saw gasoline still was leaking out from an undetermined area under the vehicle . Why was the part not released for so long?Honda repair garage has not yet determined where the leak is and what is defective at the time this is written 3 days after the recall �repair�.
