After your Honda took a recall repair at the dealership, you noticed a strong fuel smell inside your car that didn't go away as promised, and your Check Engine light came on. Even after a second visit to the dealership where the smell improved temporarily, the Check Engine light returned. The fix likely involves inspecting the fuel system components that were modified during the recall repair and addressing any leaks or sensor issues causing the warning light.

Many owners of the same car are experiencing water entering from the hood scoop and dripping onto the 4th cylinder causing the coils and spark plug to rust and will throw a check engine light. Honda knows about it and won’t fix it. Clearly there’s a default on how the car was design and Honda should have a fix to correct this issues.
