Vehicle Recall Details
Reference : R/2006/154Manufacturer Ref :
Make: HONDAModel : CIVICLaunch Date : 02/10/2006Numbers Involved : 3036
Build Start Date : 02/05/2006
Build End Date : 28/06/2006
DetailsConcern : ENGINE MAY CUT OUT AND OR FAIL TO START
Description : It has been identified that the engine may fail to start, or may stall, and fail to restart. This situation is caused by the presence of water residue from the tank testing procedure, being left on the fuel pump wiring connector block. This situation can result in electrolytic corrosion of the connector terminals which may then break, thus interrupting the electrical supply to the fuel pump, with subsequent loss of fuel pressure.
Remedial Action : Recalled vehicles will be checked for the presence of corrosion and or water on the fuel pump connector block. Should this situation be found, the fuel pump assembly will be replaced.

VOLUNTARY RECALL SYSTEM

Recall campaigns are launched and monitored as agreed in the various voluntary Codes of Practice formulated from discussions between the Department for Transport and representative bodies of the Motor Industry. These codes set out the guidelines on procedures for the recall of vehicles and components that have safety related defects, due to a feature of design or construction, and which are liable to cause significant risk of injury to the driver, occupants of the vehicle or other road users.
The first code was introduced in 1979, (a link to this code is at the top of the page) and applies to all motor vehicles sold in Great Britain. A further six codes have been introduced since 1982, (details of which can be obtained direct from Vehicle Safety Branch) and cover the following:
· Trailers under 3500kg GVW
· Commercial Trailers 3500kg and over
· Tyres, Wheels and Valves
· Motorcycles
· Parts and Accessories
· Pedal Cycles.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to inform the Vehicle Inspectorate when substantial evidence of a safety defect that requires remedial action, has been confirmed. Additionally, evidence may be presented to the manufacturer by the Vehicle Inspectorate as a result of investigations into accidents, and safety defects which have been brought to their attention from other sources.
