RE: Limited Recall/Stop Sale: 2012 Civic (4-door / 2-door) Fuel Line Leak
On 5/10/11 American Honda announced a Stop Sale for a limited number of 2012 Civic 4-door and 2-door models produced at the Canada plant. Today, 5/16/11, American Honda is announcing a Recall of 1156 units. Some units will be repaired at the railhead prior to dealer delivery. Only VINs shown in the VIN list are affected by the Stop Sale. Some dealers may not have affected units in their inventory.
Dealers must use VIN Status Inquiry to determine eligibility for the campaign. VIN Status Inquiry will be available 5/20/11 for this campaign.

Should an unrepaired vehicle cause an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims.
Basic Problem
During production of the fuel feed pipe the O-ring sealing the plastic pipe to the metal line partially rolled out of position. When the fuel feed pipe is pressurized, fuel could leak past this O-ring.
Service Information
A Service Bulletin will be posted for viewing on 5/20/11. Affected units will require replacement of the fuel feed pipe and retainer. Customer notifications will begin mailing on or before 5/27/11.
Once the repair has been performed the unit can be sold.
Parts Information
Dealers will be allocated fuel feed pipes and pipe retainers to repair your affected in-stock inventory and sold units. Dealers should start receiving these parts beginning 5/20/11.
