What is wrong
Vehicle description: sedans and coupes. The hose clamps on the filler neck tube have insufficient clamping force.
The risk
In a collision, the tube could disconnect from the fuel tank, resulting in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will check the hose clamps for proper torque and tighten them correctly, if necessary. Owner notification began june 4, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
