Several new 2012 Honda Civics have already been recalled due to an issue during manufacturing resulted in improperly-installed fuel lines.

Honda announced that it was bringing back more than 1,500 vehicles, which were only produced several weeks ago. The 2012 redesign of the Civic only recently went on sale, so it's a bit unusual for a recall to be issued so quickly.

The only vehicles affected by the change were 2012 models produced between April 21st and May 2nd. Honda became aware of the issue when an employee at the company's factory reported a smell of gasoline coming from one of the cars.

Apparently, the fuel lines can become dislodged in the vehicle. If left unchecked, this could start a small fire. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.

In fact, the problem may not affect that many owners. Since the car just went on sale last month, a good portion of the models are likely still sitting at the dealership. For example, of the 337 cars recalled in Canada, only 2 had actually been purchased. Honda has not revealed how many were sold in the U.S. so far, but has already notified the owners.
