| Defect Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect the fuel pump module and if necessary replace the module free of charge. the safety recall began on april 25, 2011. owners may contact honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. | |||||||||||||||

| Modest and careful driving results in much lower gas mileage than epa estimates. mpg equals that of three prior cars with engines of twice the size and twice the horsepower. dealer shrugs, ignores. | |||

| I purchased new 2011 honda civic lx sedan vehicle. the vehicle's check engine light came on when i drove it off the lot. it was allegedly repaired by dealer. however, within 24 hours check engine light came on again. the vehicle has been at greenwich honda, mason street, greenwich ct three times already and it is still not repaired. it appears that vehicle has never been environmental compliant. the engine appears to run irregularly at times and i am afraid that it may accelerate out of control. | |||
