Honda recalls 1,156 Civics

Japanese automaker Honda will recall 1,156 Civic vehicles due a seal in a gas line that may be misaligned, posing a fire hazard, regulators said Monday.

The recall involves 2012 model year two-door and four-door Civics made between April 21, 2011 and May 2, 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

In a statement, the NHTSA said, "There is a possibility that an O-ring, which seals a connection in the fuel feed line, is misaligned. If the O-ring is misaligned, a small fuel leak may occur."

Honda said the recall would commence on or before Friday. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the fuel feed line assembly free of charge.
