Honda recalled Civic vehicles built between 2 May 2006 and 28 June 2006. The engine may fail to start or may stall and fail to restart. The dealer will check recalled vehicles for the presence of corrosion and or water on the fuel pump connector block. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
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.
