Filing in context
The Fuel Tank is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 79 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 25 Honda notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 3,506 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 months.
Defect
Improper press-forming of the fuel tank causes waviness to develop in the steel sheet on the tank surface. Engine vibration and other forces may cause the steel sheet to resonate. Continued use allows cracks to form at the waviness in the steel sheet, and fuel may leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel tank and replace any unit exhibiting waviness in the surface steel sheet with a non-defective part.
