NHTSA Complaint #11589649 — 2020 HONDA PILOT

This is regarding a fuel pump safety recall for 2020 Honda Pilot. We have been receiving notifications of this recall for about 5 months. Each time I try to schedule the repair with my local Honda dealer I'm told that they do not have the parts in. Last week (05/16/24) I was told they will not have them until fall of 2024. Meanwhile, our Pilot has stalled in traffic several times presenting a safety risk to us and others. Today I called Honda Customer Service (888-234-2138) and was told that to expedite service I would need to have the part inspected and IF they determine that it is due to the fuel pump problem they will expedite receipt of the part and repair, but IF they determine that it is something else I will have to pay for the diagnostic fee. I find this unacceptable and I find the delay in repairing effected vehicles unacceptable. Honda has a legal obligation to protect the safety of it's customers in a timely manner. They have not done so. And, my vehicle's problem is clearly exactly as described in the recall notice, so why should there be any possibility that I would have to pay a diagnosis fee when the part is inspected? Meanwhile I will schedule the inspection as required, but Honda's handling of this recall is unacceptable. Please let me know what, if any action, I should take and what if any you will take. Thank you.
