Washington, DC: Honda is recalling 18,056 Honda Civic model year 2011 vehicles. To prevent fuel from leaking out of a vehicle's fuel tank into the evaporative emissions canister in the event of a roll-over incident, 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.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
