Buying a used 2018 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 2 owner complaints on file

Both recalls on the 2018 Clarity Fuel Cell concern losing motive power: one for a fault that can cause power loss while driving, another for a water pump that can fail and stall the car. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. The complaint record is nearly empty — two unverified NHTSA reports, one under vehicle speed control and one under fuel/propulsion, with no crashes, fires or injuries — which reflects how few were sold more than proven reliability.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify both the power-loss and water-pump recall repairs are closed on the VIN.
3. Ask the seller directly whether the car has ever lost power or stalled while driving.
4. Confirm a dealer able to service this fuel-cell model can complete any outstanding recall work.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
