Details
What's wrong: The hose clamps on the filler neck tube have insufficient clamping force.
Why it matters: In a collision, the tube could disconnect from the fuel tank, resulting in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will check the hose clamps for proper torque and tighten them correctly, if necessary. Owner notification began June 4, 2001.
