Fuel System, Gasoline #97V060000 · 1997 · 375 units
Problem: The fuel pump mounting plate does not fully seal the fuel tank allowing fuel leakage onto the engine.
Risk: If an ignition source is present, fuel leakage onto the engine can result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the original rubber seal with a revised seal that has metal inserts so the plate cannot be overtorqued and to more evenly spread the load across the face of the seal.
