Right, here we go again. Honda has issued a recall on 18,056 model-year 2011 Civic sedans in the US for a potential problem that may arise with the fuel pump module, located inside the gas tank.
The problematic part in the affected cars is the roll-over valve, a component in the fuel pump module. Observations during assembly have revealed that the ROV – which prevents fuel from coming out of the tank if a car overturns – may have been damaged during production; a cracked roll-over valve may allow fuel leakage from the gasoline tank into the evaporative emissions canister if the car rolls over.
The recall begins sometime in mid-April to inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump module inside the gasoline tank of the affected cars. Honda says that no crashes or injuries have been reported related to the defect.
Elsewhere, 33,341 Odyssey MPVs are also being recalled in the US to get their windshield wiper linkage rod replaced. Apparently, the wipers may be frozen to the windscreen in heavy ice conditions, and switching on the wipers without freeing them from the glass might bend the linkage rod, thereby rendering them useless, which is not a good thing of course. Again, no crashes or injuries have been reported due to this defect.

ermm..nuclear leakage?
we want nasi lemal… :p
nasi lemal??? hahaha
Teruk betullah standard US sekarang nie , banyak barang tak der quality .Malaysia lagi bagus , Toyota Honda cars are never affected because our suppliers are diferent . We use a lot of ‘green technology ‘ hehe
i am too happy about it.
They make profit, we consumers suffer, damn.
are you a honda owner?
obviously,2010 was toyota year,and now,it’s honda year.
when is P1 &P2 year? haha
no need recall….Malaysian people so rich they can send for repair using their own pocket money….
Anthony….why is it paultan seldom report recalls of other makes than T&H?
for example last week Kia Motors in US is recalling more than 70,000 Optima midsize sedans to fix transmission problems that can cause the cars to roll even while they’re in park…..
other car makers too….
That one’s coming up next. :)
haha ok….
oh yeah… malaysia civic bila lagi HM? takkan wat bodo je..haha
dont forget to make a report of proton recalls too okay? there must be a lot but been kept secret.
of course lah!
Alahai, got la…just search Proton recall on paultan & it was reported.
only once…..so damn funny hahahahaa…..
there is no other problem then what the hell want to recall?
Nolan, you don’t want to do research, why should I spoon feed you. Anyone who’s got half a brain knows that Proton have done some recalls before. It’s Perodua you should be worried about.
what happen honda? last time local manufactured recall honda city & jazz, now calling civic but lucky not m’sia manufactured. RISAU lah macam nihh.. i baru beli secondhand civic 1.8 !!
I guess its more to the fact that you can easily get sued in the US than any other part of the world for selling competing products. This is a roll over valve issue. Its a check valve. Here, nobody buys an expensive powerful car and drive it hard. We also don’t get snow.
get ready for NVH and wiper problem for recalls..as well as gearbox..mine is 2010 model mileage 7k already have weird sound :(
2010 model Civic with mileage 7K already weird sound.. hard to believe especially this model is very popular here in Malaysia….
So you all honda owner or lover better change to proton ispira or mitshubishi car i think if any only a tiny problem. OK bro its time for a change
i also dont know why..the sound insulation si very poor….the disck brake already shows some rusting sign…luckily still get 10k free service….better get accord or altis than this one
You sound very anti-Civic. Can’t afford one is it?
i really love honda civic because it look so cool…but unsuspectingly it is fliied with tiny disaster…i should bought nissan slyphy which is more cheaper..becoz mine is 1.8 S-L
