NHTSA recall 11V176000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: 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,…
Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel pump module and if necessary replace the module free of charge. The safety recall began on April 25, 2011.
