Honda recalling 628,000 vehicles for defective fuel pumps

Amazing, isn't it? Fuel pumps in one form or another have been around for well over a century and suddenly some supplier can't make one that works!
 
If you do not monitor your Chinese vendors carefully this can happen. I swear they are the model for the Ferengi character in Star Trek DS9.

They usually grow and get a more lucrative contract and then cheapen the heck out of your product. When you complain they say you are bad customer and will not sell to you. Now what do you do....... Fun times.

with everything being "global" manufacturers "bean counters" are looking for the cheepest bids on various parts, sheet happens + it happens more than ever with competition + greedy vehicle manufacturers
 
Honda, like all other brands, has its share of problems. Someday I need to book an appointment for my Fit to go in, and have both axles replaced under a recall.
