Known issues on the 1985 Prelude. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel system: the plastic coating on the fuel filler and breather pipes can be damaged, letting salt water reach the steel pipes underneath and corrode them, which can eventually allow gasoline fumes and fuel to leak and, if exposed to a source of ignition, catch fire. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel system are here.

Whether you're inspecting the fuel filler pipe for corrosion or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure for your specific 1985 Prelude.
