2019 Honda Civic Type R Owner Complaints

Honda has sent this recall notice in Feb 2024 and again in Jan 2025. I am unable to get it fixed and remedy. I am getting the run around that parts are not available. I called back in Oct 2024 and was put on a wait list. I called again 2/6/2025 and was told the same thing. I am trying to be proactive before the fuel pump goes out and be left stranded on the road. In addition, CA dmv are stating that they will not renew my registration without this recall being fixed. My registration is due soon in April.

Incident

While driving on the freeway at 70 mph, my car started sputtering and out of instinct I placed the gear into neutral. Shortly after doing that the car died while moving. I tried a rolling/moving restart on the car by placing it in 6th gear, hold the clutch in and restart the ignition with no luck. Coasted the car to the nearest freeway exit and into a parking lot. If the car would have died while still in gear, the outcome would’ve been catastrophic especially on a busy freeway. I was lucky enough that there wasn’t too many cars in the left lane. After trying to restart the car multiple times in the parking lot, I called for tow of the vehicle back to my resident then to a shop a couple days later. The car showed a Rev Match System and Emissions System Problem messages with a check engine light. The shop diagnostic showed a P0087 fault code which led them to troubleshoot the fuel system. We checked fuses and relay circuits, removed the back seat for fuel pump access, checked the fuel pump circuit and it had power and good ground. Connected the power back to the pump, turned the ignition on to hear the priming of the pump and there was none. Checked for fuel pressure to the engine and there was no pressure going to it. Shop told me there’s a safety recall for my year and model of the vehicle. I read the recall details online and verified my VIN on the Honda recall website and the NHTSA recall, my vehicle does not fall under the recall. The recall details specified what could happen to the vehicle and that happened to mine. I called and wrote Honda asking for an explanation why my VIN doesn’t have a recall but has the symptoms they described and I haven’t heard anything back. The replacement part and labor to include tow would be around $2000-$2500 from what I was told by the dealership and it would be an out of pocket expense for me.
