Honda Civic: Other

Affects Honda Civic · 2008–2009 — about 75 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the bracket that covers the fuel hose connector is normally secured with a nut and bolt, however during assembly the nut was omitted. In the event of a crash, the bracket may become loose which could result in damage to the fuel hose connector. A damaged connector could lead to a fuel leak and increases the risk of fire causing property damages and personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and install a nut on the fuel feed hose bracket.
