Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the impeller inside the fuel pump may have been improperly molded due to a manufacturing error. Alcohol in some fuels may deform the impeller and cause it to come into contact with the pump housing.
Why it matters: This condition could increase the rotational resistance of the impeller and, in the worst case, may result in failure of the fuel pump.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump. Owners will be notified in July, 2004.
