    FUEL MAY LEAK

    Defect

    On the subject vehicles the resin fuel pump rings located on the top surface of the fuel tank may deteriorate by heat from the engine and exhaust pipes. Over time this deterioration could cause the fuel tank to leak which may increase the risk a vehicle fire. The resin fuel pump discharge pipe mounted to the upper part of the fuel pump body (within the fuel tank) may also deteriorate following exposure to heat from the engine and exhaust systems. This deterioration may cause the pipe to crack creating a fuel leak which could increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Fuel may leak from either the upper surface of the fuel tank and /or the fuel pump discharge pipe. In the worst case this may result in a fuel leak. This in turn could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

    Remedy

    Replacement of the resin fuel pump rings and the fitment of heat insulating pads on the upper surface of the fuel tank to prevent future deterioration by heat of the engine and exhaust systems. The fuel pump filter body will also be replaced with a modified version in order to address the concern of the deterioration of the fuel discharge pipe.

    FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT CASTING MAY CRACK / BREAK

    Defect

    The front lower arm ball joint casting may have a crack due to inappropriate manufacturing process being used. In extreme driving conditions this could cause the casting to break and the ball joint to become detached. If this happens it could result in the driver losing control of the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Replace both left side and right side lower arms with modified units.

    BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK MAY CORRODE AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK

    Defect

    The distance between the packing holder and the filler of the fuel tank cap is unsuitable. If the tank cap packing becomes swollen and climbs over the filler sealing failure occurs. When the fuel level is high in that condition if rapid acceleration and deceleration are repeated the fuel level will fluctuate making fuel leak from the gap between the filler mouth and the fuel tank cap packing. The leaked fuel will then be discharged onto the road surface via the drain tube. The fact that fuel leakage may occur under these conditions may constitute a violation of regulations. In addition to this if water from washing the unit enters inside the fuel tank from the sealing area the engine may malfunction. In the worst case the bottom of the fuel tank may corrode and if it is continued to be used in that state corrosion would progress and fuel may leak from the tank.

    Remedy

    Fuel tank caps for all the vehicles are to be replaced with modified parts. At the same time Honda will inspect how well the caps are sealed and if water is inside the tanks. If water is found in tanks Honda will replace fuel tanks fuel pumps and injectors for steel fuel tanks and fuel pumps and injectors for titanium fuel tanks. Titanium fuel tanks do not get rusty and do not have to be replaced.
