Details

What's wrong: If the fuel tank cracks, fuel leakage could occur.

Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and, if cracked, will replace the tank. Insulator pads will be installed on all vehicles to reduce the stress levels in the fuel tank. Owner notification began April 19, 2001.
