Denso Recalls Fuel Pumps Due to Impeller Cracking and Engine Stalling Risk
Denso is recalling fuel pumps where an impeller may crack and deform, causing the pump to fail. This failure can cause the engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel pump failure) that can cause the engine to stall while driving, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.
