Honda is recalling more than 720,800 vehicles in the US over concerns that a high-pressure fuel pump may crack and leak fuel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

The recall includes certain Accord, CR-V Hybrid and Honda Civic vehicles from model years 2023-2025, the US auto safety regulator said.

Dealers will inspect and replace the high-pressure fuel pump as necessary for free, it said.

Honda did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
