The recall covers about 18,000 Civics and 33,000 Odysseys from the 2011 model year.

Honda says a plastic case that covers a valve in the fuel pump module could break or crack in the Civic. That, in turn, could lead to a fuel leak in a roll-over crash, and the leaking fuel could lead to a fire.

Honda spokesman Chris Martin said no fires have been reported as a result of the defect. He said very few of the 18,000 cars are thought to be affected.

In the Odyssey, Honda says the windshield wiper linkage rod could become bent if the windshield wipers are frozen to the windshield with heavy ice and the wipers are switched on. A bent wiper linkage rod could prevent the front wipers from operating normally.
