Important Notice Regarding Recall Gaps & Dealership Goodwill Requests

Statutory vs. Discretionary Remedies: Because your vehicle model year is currently excluded from official NHTSA campaign 12V548000, authorized dealerships are not legally mandated under federal law (49 U.S.C. Section 30120) to perform free recall repairs on your vehicle.

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.

1. WHEN THE FUEL CAP IS REMOVED THERE IS A ESD DISCHARGE WHEN THE CAP TOUCHES THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE ESD DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR VERY CLOSE TO THE FUEL INLET AND WHERE THERE ARE GASOLINE VAPORS. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FUEL EXPLOSION OR FIRE. THE FUEL CAP IS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL DOOR SO THE MAX DISTANCE THE CAP CAN BE MOVED FROM THE FUEL INLET IS ABOUT 6 INCHES 2. THE ESD SEEMS TO BUILD UP VERY QUICKLY (AT LEAST 1 MILE OF DRIVING). THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED AND HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. 3. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INDICATED THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE BUILDUP OF ESD ON THE OPERATOR OF THE CAR. WHEN THE FUEL CAP IS TOUCHED THE ESD CHARGE IS THEN TRANSFERRED TO THE CAP WHICH THEN DISCHARGES TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDED USING AN ANTISTATIC SPRAY ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED SEATS AND FLOOR MATS. AT THIS TIME NO OTHER ACTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURE AS THEY ARE CLAIMING THE PROBLEM MUST BE RESOLVED BY THE OPERATOR OF THE CAR. I DISPUTE THIS FINDING FOR SEVERAL REASONS. (1) WHEN EXITING THE CAR THE OPERATOR TOUCHES THE METAL FRAME OF THE DOOR AND (2) THE FUEL DOOR IS ALSO METAL AND THIS IS ALSO TOUCHED SO ANY BUILD UP OF ESD ON THE OPERATOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED BEFORE THE FUEL CAP IS EVER TOUCHED.

Adjacent Recall Summary (11V176000): 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.

Safety Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Manufacturer Remedy on 2011: 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.

THE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDED USING AN ANTISTATIC SPRAY ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED SEATS AND FLOOR MATS. AT THIS TIME NO OTHER ACTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURE AS THEY ARE CLAIMING THE PROBLEM MUST BE RESOLVED BY THE OPERATOR OF THE CAR. I DISPUTE THIS FINDING FOR SEVERAL REASONS. (1) WHEN EXITING THE CAR THE OPERATOR TOUCHES THE METAL FRAME OF THE DOOR AND (2) THE FUEL DOOR IS ALSO METAL AND THIS IS ALSO TOUCHED SO ANY BUILD UP OF ESD ON THE OPERATOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED BEFORE THE FUEL CAP IS EVER TOUCHED.

Important Notice Regarding Recall Gaps & Dealership Goodwill Requests

Statutory vs. Discretionary Remedies: Because your vehicle model year is currently excluded from official NHTSA campaign 11V288000, authorized dealerships are not legally mandated under federal law (49 U.S.C. Section 30120) to perform free recall repairs on your vehicle.

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.

Recall Gap Finder is not a law firm. Generated documents do not constitute legal advice, formal demand letters, or binding court filings. Review our Legal Terms & Disclaimers.

Sample 2010 HONDA CIVIC Owner Complaints (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER)

ODI #10357919 • Incident Date: 09/24/2010
I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2010 HONDA CIVIC GX ( NATURAL GAS VEHICLE) I PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST WEEK. I'VE BEEN NOTICING THE SMELL OF NATURAL GAS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER INSTRUCTED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL LEAK COMING FROM THE PIPES BETWEEN THE TANK AND EXTERIOR. HONDA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE NEW TANK AND ASSEMBLES AND HAVE OPTED TO TRY AND ADD NEW "O" RINGS. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM VERY CONFIDENT IN THE PRESCRIBED MEASURES FROM HONDA CORPORATE AND ALSO DON'T SEEM VERY CONFIDENT IN REPAIRING THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF ITS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. THESE THINGS CAN BLOW UP IF YOU HAVE A LEAK OF ANY KIND. THANK GOD THE CAR WAS PARKED OUT SIDE AND NOT IN THE GARAGE BY THE DRYER AND WATER HEATER. *TR
