Safety Recall: Fuel Feed Hose Bracket Nut Is Missing
BACKGROUND
On the engine compartment bulkhead, a bracket covering the fuel feed hose quick connect fitting is secured with a bolt and a nut. This bracket protects
the fuel hose quick connect fitting from damage during a crash. On 128 vehicles, the nut for the fuel feed hose bracket is missing. In the event of a crash,
the bracket may become loose, which could damage the quick connect fitting. A damaged quick connect fitting could lead to a fuel leak, increasing the
risk of a fire.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
The 128 affected vehicles were built in Canada (VINs beginning with 2HG), between late August and early September 2008. To verify vehicle
eligibility, you must do a VIN status inquiry. If you re working on a customer vehicle, also make sure the customer has a notification letter.
To see if a vehicle has already had this campaign completed, check for a punch mark below the first character of the engine compartment VIN.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new vehicle inventory. You should not sell or lease these vehicles until they have been repaired.
To see if a vehicle is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling or leasing it.
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.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this campaign the week of October 13, 2008. An example of the customer notification is shown
in this service bulletin.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Install the missing nut on the fuel feed hose bracket.
