Denso, Japan’s largest auto parts company, continues to ferment the problem of fuel pump defects exposed before. Recently, two Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have also announced a recall because of this problem, and the spread of defective fuel pumps has expanded from cars to motorcycles.
On January 26th, affected by the defect of the fuel pump of Denso Company,Honda announced the recall of three motorcycles.. Another familyJapanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha also recalled a model on the same day.The total number of recalls of the two companies is about 3,800. This is also the first time that related problems have been extended to the motorcycle market. At present, 14 related failure reports have been received.
Besides,On the same day, there were four Japanese car companies, Subaru, Mazda, Suzuki and Mitsubishi, which recalled 32 models and about 480,000 cars.At present, there are 202 related failure reports. Denso admitted in official website that the reason for this recall, including motorcycles, is the same as before, because the resin density of the impeller in the fuel pump is low, and it may deform and fail to work normally under the action of fuel, even leading to engine flameout.
In July last year, a Honda car in Japan that used a faulty fuel pump from Denso Company stalled while driving on the expressway and was rear-ended by a rear car, killing one person and injuring two others.
Since 2020, Denso’s defective fuel pump has caused seven Japanese car companies to recall 23 times in Japan, with a total of about 4.3 million vehicles. In addition to private cars, some police cars and ambulances in Japan have also been recalled.
According to Japanese media statistics, Japanese car companies have recalled more than 15 million cars around the world due to the problem of electric fuel pumps. As the largest auto parts manufacturer in Japan and the second largest in the world, it remains to be seen whether the defective fuel pump problem of Denso will be further fermented.
