A defective fuel pump module is to blame for the latest Honda recall that affects 18,056 Civics from the 2011 model year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], the roll-over valve inside certain fuel pump modules may have been damaged during production and could cause fuel leakage in the event of a roll-over incident. The safety agency said no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this defect.
The Japanese firm’s dealers will inspect the fuel pump module and if necessary replace it free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before April 11, 2011. Concerned owners may contact Honda’s customer service at 1-800-999-1009.
