Honda recalled approximately 720,000 vehicles for a defect in the high-pressure fuel pump, which can lead to cracks forming inside the unit, the company announced.

The cracks can grow while the car is driven, potentially causing fuel leaks and a noticeable gas smell when idling or on the road, increasing the risk of fire, accidents, or injury, the automaker said.
