NHTSA recall 02V032000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: Certain sport utility vehicles equipped with a fuel tank brush guard fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 301, "fuel system integrity." The onboard refueling vapor recovery (orvr) control valve can become detached during a crash, allowing fuel leakage.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will either replace the fuel tank brush guard with a skid plate or reinforce the existing fuel tank brush guard with a reinforcement bracket. Owner notification will begin March 4, 2002.
