Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Honda Civic Hybrid

. . I was noticing gas fumes in my garage for about a week. . . Early on called dealership and said I had recently gassed up. . . I was advised to see if maybe odor would abate on its own perhaps due to spilling upon filling. . . It did not. . . There was a crack found where the gas tank connects to the engine and small amount of gas was leaking requiring a replacement of gas tank and repair would be about 1350. . . . I looked on line to find info re recall notice for some 80000 vehicles for same problem. . . . However although my car was in the said group. . . . My VIN was not. . . Also I purchased my car Dec 07 leaving five months out of extended warranty if applied. . . . . I had the vehicle repaired the dealership gave me a discount as I have purchased two vehicles from this dealership since 1992 and all have been dealer maintained. . . . . . . I appreciate this acknowledgment in form of discount. . . . . . . Although technically it appears I fall out of the range of warranty in the spirit of the issue. . . I wanted this safety flaw to be made aware. I believe I was put in harms way to a degree. . . If gas had trickled on a manifold or in the garage. . . The pilot light of my water heater may ignite and an explosion may occur. . . . . . . So I feel compelled to share experience. Additionally I feel a 'fix it' light should have been triggered to appear on my dashboard.
