NHTSA recall 04V003000
Fuel System, Gasoline · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.2L 4-cylinder (l61) engines were built with a fuel filter that could corrode prematurely on the exterior surface.
Why it matters: If corrosion on the exterior surface of the fuel filter progresses to the point of creating a hole in the shell, fuel droplets could form and drop to the ground. If an ignition source is present, a fire could result.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel filter assembly. Owner notification began on December 30, 2003. Owners should contact Saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
