Honda Recalls 4,206 Fury and Shadow Cruisers Over Fuel Pumps

Honda is recalling 4,206 cruisers because the fuel pump may fail and stall the engine. The NHTSA record for campaign 26V633, received October 1, 2026, covers the 2023–2025 VT1300CX (the Fury) and the 2024–2025 VT750.

Dealers will replace the fuel pump for free. Honda's own number for the campaign is KU9.

Key points:

• Bikes: 2023, 2024 and 2025 VT1300CX; 2024 and 2025 VT750. NHTSA lists 4,206 potentially affected across both.
• Problem: a manufacturing defect may make the fuel pump malfunction. If it fails, the engine can stall.
• Fix: a new fuel pump at a Honda dealer, free of charge.
• Timing: VIN lookup has been live on NHTSA.gov since October 8. Honda's owner letters start going out November 27, 2026.

Which Hondas are in the recall

NHTSA files the bikes by Honda's model codes, not their showroom names. Here's how they line up:

1. VT1300CX, model years 2023 to 2025. That's the Fury, Honda's chopper-style cruiser.
2. VT750, model years 2024 and 2025. Honda's 2024 U.S. specification sheet uses VT750 codes for the Shadow Phantom and Shadow Phantom ABS, the 745cc fuel-injected V-twin.

Not every bike from those years is necessarily included. NHTSA's summary says "certain" motorcycles, and the record doesn't publish VIN ranges or production dates. The count of 4,206 is the campaign total; NHTSA doesn't split it between the Fury and the VT750.

Earlier model years aren't part of this campaign.

Why a failing fuel pump matters

The fuel pump sits inside the tank and pushes gasoline to the injectors. When it quits, the engine runs out of fuel and dies.

NHTSA's consequence statement is short: fuel-pump failure "can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash." On a motorcycle, losing power in the middle of a left turn or while merging is a lot more dangerous than coasting to the shoulder of an empty road.

The record doesn't describe warning signs, and it doesn't say whether Honda knows of any crashes or injuries. It also doesn't tell owners to stop riding or park outdoors. NHTSA flags those advisories when a manufacturer issues them, and both flags are off for this campaign.

What to do if you own a Fury or VT750

You don't have to wait for the letter. VINs went live on NHTSA's lookup on October 8, almost seven weeks before Honda's mailing starts.

1. Check your VIN. Enter the 17-character VIN at NHTSA's recall lookup. It's stamped on the steering head and printed on your registration and insurance card.
2. Call a Honda powersports dealer. Mention recall KU9 and ask whether the replacement pump is in stock. A dealer can also confirm whether your specific bike is included.
3. Book the repair. The fuel pump replacement is free. If you've already paid for a fuel-pump repair on one of these bikes, ask Honda about reimbursement.
4. Keep the repair order. A completed KU9 line on the paperwork is useful proof when you sell or trade the bike.

If your dealer can't help, Honda's customer service line in the record is 1-866-784-1870.

Until the pump is replaced, it's worth riding with the possibility of a stall in mind. Leave yourself extra room in traffic and on highway merges, where losing power would be hardest to manage. That's a common-sense suggestion, not an instruction from Honda or NHTSA.

If you just bought one used

Recalls follow the motorcycle, not the original buyer. If you picked up a Fury or Shadow Phantom secondhand, Honda's letter may go to a previous owner instead of you. A VIN check today is the reliable way to find out.

The same goes for anyone shopping for one of these bikes now. Run the VIN before you buy, and ask the seller whether KU9 has been done.

What we still don't know

• Exact production ranges and how the 4,206 bikes split between the two models.
• What the defect is inside the pump, beyond "a manufacturing defect."
• Whether any crashes, injuries or field failures prompted the recall.
• Parts availability at dealers before the November 27 mailing.
