2011 HONDA CIVIC
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
American Honda Motor Co. is recalling certain 2011 Honda Civic vehicles due to a defect in the fuel pump module. The rollover valve, which is designed to prevent fuel leakage during a rollover accident, may fail because the plastic case housing it was improperly welded during manufacturing. If the case breaks or cracks, the valve can separate and stop working, which could allow fuel to leak into the evaporative emissions canister and create a fire hazard in the presence of an ignition source.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Honda Customer Service at 1-800-999-1009. Dealers will inspect the fuel pump module and replace it free of charge if necessary. The recall began on April 25, 2011.

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. TO PREVENT FUEL FROM LEAKING OUT OF A VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK INTO THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER IN THE EVENT A ROLL-OVER INCIDENT OCCURS, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS EQUIPPED WITH A ROLL OVER VALVE (ROV). DUE TO IMPROPER ULTRASONIC WELDING OF THE PLASTIC CASE THAT HOUSES THE ROV WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, THE CASE MATERIAL MAY BREAK OR CRACK, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ROV TO SEPARATE FROM THE CASE AND FAIL TO FUNCTION, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF FUEL LEAKAGE IN A ROLL-OVER INCIDENT.
