THE HONDA NPS50 OF ALL YEARS BUILT IS SUBJECT TO FUEL PUMP FAILURES OCCURRING EVERY 7500 MILES. I REPLACED A FUEL PUMP AT ~7500 MILES. THE MILEAGE ON MY NPS50 IS NOW 148XX AND I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER FUEL PUMP 05-10-2013. THE COST WAS $80 THE FIRST TIME AND $90 ON 05-10-13. HONDA DEALERSHIPS STOCK THIS FUEL PUMP AND SAY THE FUEL PUMPS COMMONLY FAIL DUE TO POOR GAS AND THE FACT THAT THIS FUEL PUMP IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE OR MAINTAIN A LOW PRESSURE. THE HONDA NPS50 WILL LOSE ALL POWER OR STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. LOSING ALL POWER AND ATTEMPTING TO REACH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A MULTI-LANE ROAD IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. SITTING AT IDLE IN A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE ONLY TO LOSE ALL POWER WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL BECOMES GREEN IS ALSO A DANGEROUS SITUATION I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. THE LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN THE FUEL PUMP BEGINS TO FAIL WHICH LEADS TO A FALSE SENSE OF SAFE OPERATION FOR TEN OR MORE MINUTES BEFORE THE SYMPTOM OCCURS AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK A PROBLEM KNOWN TO HONDA SIMPLY BY THE LARGE NUMBER OF FUEL PUMPS SOLD FOR ALL YEARS OF THE NPS50 ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE IS ACCEPTABLE. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
